    Do not feel like spending another 100$ for the passenger side lol.

    I used the T nut method, not sure if it is even worth to use anything else.
    If I remember correctly one of the slots is narrower than the other, definitely install the nut on that side first.

    I’m confused. Your invoice says you bought two handles and four plugs. Don’t you have one for the passenger side?

    Yeah, one for me, the other for the rear driver side :) I use that one to hang my sleeping bag.

    I was able to fix the wavy edge of the KTJO A-pillar trim piece, hopefully for good, and am going to reinstall it today. While the modified oem trim with Jason's bracket looks fine (3rd & 4th photos above), and works great, I like how the combination of the KTJO handle, A-pillar trim, & Jason's bracket (1st & 2nd photos above) is just as sturdy, but matches the passenger side. Plus, it has more finger room due to the raised mounting points.
