Passenger Assist Handle for '05 T&C Limited ???

Have a 2005 T&C Limited. Didn't realize it had no "Front Passenger Assist Handle" when we bought the car. Wife wants one!!

Looking at the '05 T&C Brochure, I see that only LX & Touring models have them as "standard". Reading further, I see that "(deleted with side-curtain air bag)". Since the Limited has side curtains for all three rows, I assume that is why the Handle dosed not appear in the Limited.

A friend has the SWB T&C and had one added after the fact! However his vehicle does not have side curtains!

QUESTION: Is it possible one could be installed in my Limited?

Thanks, J West

I was wondering why my 300C didn't have front handles, it seemed like a strange omission. Removing them to put in the side-curtain airbags makes some sense.

Yes it could be. You would need to remove the side curtain air bags to do it though.

I was looking at the position of the side curtain airbags in my 300C which is on the pillar next to the seat. I suspect that the reason for removing the handles when side airbags are installed is that they don't want anyone hanging on the handle when the airbag goes off. If your hand was on the handle when the airbag fired you could end up punching yourself in the face, at the very least the airbag is going to hit you in the armpit which is probably none to pleasant.
