Roof handles anyone?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi guys,

I have contemplated installing headliner roof grab handles to the inside of the car.

The main reason for this is that i usually climb out the car by either pushing on the steering wheel or wrapping my hand around the A pillar and pulling myself out.
On the passenger side is worse coz then i just have to wrap my hand around the pillar or push against the door to get out...

I'm not excessively heavy or anything (1.78 m & 85 kgs). I just feel more comortable doing it this way. Maybe its a lazy/habitual thing...

So has anyone done this or attempted this? Any ideas or a part number would be helpful.
Thank you.

There's an airbag there, so watch out for that.

Just out of curiosity have you tried using your "door side" hand on the rear of the door sill as a balance/grab point? There is a pad there for that purpose and I find it an easy balance point for getting my 55 year old body in and out of the car.

I find it easier to push from the door frame up. On both sides. Rather than pulling from the a-pillar
