Exclamation replacing a few things and need some help

Does anyone know where i can purchase a grip handle for a 2004 dodge ram on the passenger side. I also have yet to figure out how to replace the dome light in the middle of my cab roof the ones near the front are fine but the one in the back has been out for a while and i have time to replace it I just cant find how. Any advise on these two things would be greatly appreciated.

ps on the grab handle I have used washers jb weld putties and other remedies and it still comes off after a while. I just need a replacement unless anyone has a surefire way to fix the darn thing.

For the "oh crap" handle, you could try a junkyard, or go straight to the dealer. The dome lens should be able to pry off. There are usually two clips on either side that clip in to the headliner. Just be careful that you don't damage the liner, or break the clips on the lens. Good luck.

Yeah I used hose clamps, flat washers and gorilla glue on mine and have been lucky it hasnt came back apart. IDK how bad yours was though. But aside from scrap yards I would check ebay and all the dodge boards for any or trucks getting parted out

Thanks for the tips i'll give it a go I may just look for some longer bolts and fabricate something to go in there solid. You'd think they would test those darn things or make them more solid somehow.
