Hey,

I thought this might be an appointment thread to ask this question on. Has anyone added a grab handle over head on the passenger side? I hardly ever sit as a passenger in my van but when I have, I constantly find myself grabbing for an overhead grab handle, it’s just second nature. Does anyone have any advice about doing this or any examples of it being done?

Thanks

I've thought about this also. That has to be a ton of force on that handle if it was overhead.

I guess a good simulation would be at the gym on the adjustable cable machine. Set the weight pretty high and simulate the situation
