Hi from Reading,England
Yes I think we are talking about the same thing. In the UK we call it a
screen piller, but I guess you call it the door frame. It's certainly the
grab handle which is at eye level when you look at it from the front seat.
on my RHD Transporter it was fitted to the drivers side but I fitted another
on the passenger side - which would be your drivers side - very confusing.
I was confused for a second on a previous post which stated the water bottle
for the washers is under the drivers feet................I thought no it's
not.............then thought again, for you it is, in a LHD vehicle.
