I-CAR · March 21, 2025 · Rivian
Summary
Rivian has updated its repair procedure for the R1S and R1T models to simplify the refinishing of the outer door handle trim. The updated procedure eliminates the previous requirement for extensive masking by allowing the removal and replacement of the exterior handgrip cover.
What to do on the job
Refer to the updated 'Handgrip, Front Door Exterior Handle, LH (Remove And Replace)' procedure in the Rivian service manual under Closures/Door Latches to remove the trim cover instead of performing extensive masking.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor time required to remove and replace the exterior door handle handgrip cover rather than masking it off during refinishing operations on Rivian R1S and R1T vehicles.
