The problem
Hard top handles often need replacing due to a single component within the mechanism failing, such as the spring or the lock cylinder. Or the handle might need replacing due to losing the keys.
Handles from the original manufacturers are expensive and can also have long lead times if on back-order. Automotive locksmiths are also pricey.
Symptoms of the fault
Original key no longer working, loose handle, no longer locking the hatch
Vehicles affected
This is a universal replacement handle which will fit any hardtop which does not have a recessed handle (for example, this will not fit Snugtop Canopies). It fits brands such as:
• Carryboy
• SJS
• Adventurer
• AT Avenger
• Aeroklas
• And other hardtops built from factory for Navara, L200 etc
The length of the handle itself does not matter; the important measurement is the distance between the sections of the handle that slot into the glass/tailgate hatch. The measurement between this section is 82mm. For all measurements, please see the guide in the images of this listing.
If you are unsure if this handle is correct for your vehicle, please send us a photo of your handle.
Our solution
Instead of purchasing a new handle from the manufacturer of your hard top (which can be very pricey!), purchase our universal replacement handle instead.
Our replacement handle is made of high-quality materials which look exactly like the OEM handles, for a fraction of the price.
If you have lost your keys, or perhaps the lock cylinder has seized leaving the key redundant, then you will find that replacing your handle with our X8R replacement handle must more cost-effective.

1 x Replacement Hard Top Handle including the following components:
• Handle
• Base

• Gasket for base
• Gasket for locating stud
• 30mm nut
• Phillip’s head screw

• 2 x washers
• 1 x spring
• 1 x spring holding plate

Please note we do NOT sell these components separately, and any orders returned with components missing will not be refunded
