Oh S#!T straps

Can anyone point me in the direction of adding some grab handles on this thing??? My passengers are flailing all over the place on turns! There seems to be room behind the passenger dash for a grab bar like my Wrangler, though accessing it looks to be tough. IDEAS???

HHR-SS Love it but REALLY, couldn't they include armrests and grab bars!?!

Maybe you should slow down just a bit? My husband drives pretty fast and I have no problem staying in my seat, even on sharp truns

There is a thread, that gives part numbers to install factory arm rests. Maybe that would be a better idea.

In all seriousness, a friend of mine had to turn down the HHR as one of his car choices due to the lack of passenger hand straps.

His wife suffers from mild MS, and needs the straps to pull herself in.

So there ARE practical uses for those things ;-)

I'm thinking I should install those harnesses that are used in inverted rollercoasters.

OK. I guess no one has seen them. I would install them in a heartbeat if they were available.

TT, I have seen grab bars recently on ebay and I thought the same thing. Search "wrangler bar"
