Entry Exit Door Pillar Assist Strap or Handle

Hello,

Does anyone know of an Entry/Exit A-Pillar handle or Strap for getting in and out of and FRS RS-1? I am 74 and my wife is 66, just bought a 2015 FR-S RS-1 and we could use a little help getting in and out.

Not possible as there's an airbag in the A pillar.

Getting out is the same, swing left leg out, roll to the left and use left hand on door sill to lift myself out.

I also move the seat all the way back every time I get out. I can get in with the seat in the driving position, but I'd rub the bolster all the time.

Don't pull on the steering wheel, as steering wheels are quite easily bent. I don't touch the A pillar as that's just asking for scratches and wearing the seals.

I put my left arm on the door sill and right hand on the a-pillar to help me get out of the car sometimes. Doesn't help your handle want, but that's how I adjusted to the very low sitting position.
