Ya....i heated it up. I pulled the damn leather wrap off! So....now its just a rubber handle. I was wanting to use it again...try and have it wrapped in new leather with red stiching. Sorta like this miata has on it.

Im gonna be sending mine over to redlinegoods.com hopefully....and have them put some new leather on it. But the damn thing doesnt come off unless you cut it off. Im still searchinh for some new ideas though. This is turning out to be a hell of alot harder than it should be!

I don't think there is any way you can take the rubber off without cutting it. It is held on by a very stong rubber-like adhesive along a line on the top portion of the handle, that will not loosen with heat. When I installed the Mazda OEM titanium handle, I had to slice it down the middle, peel it apart and tug the hell out of it, then use a razor blade to slowly remove the remaining adhesive/rubber from the metal underneath over the course of about an hour, paying attention not to scratch the metal.
