or is that a bad idea due to the side curtain airbags? I ask because my wife could use the assist to get in and the current handle doesn’t work well for leverage on the passenger side.

Awesome post. Number 1 issue that my wife and daughter complain about. Just ordered the Bartact handles.

Thanks! See, the forum can be productive and for something other than complaints!!!
Ugh, your positive comment is tiring me out. Someone hurry up and tell OP to use the search feature or something! :ROFLMAO:

@Texasex - Thanks for sharing that link. Those look like they could be handy. No issues with air bags I assume?

interesting concept. It seems like they won't interfere with the airbag, as they could just swing up, but who knows. Airbags deploy at insane speeds, the handle might not move fast enough and damage the bag?

I've seen a post where somebody added something very similar but homemade, basically the same idea but just a strap without that big rubber handle, which I'm sure would not interfere with airbags, not much mass. But also not as comfortable to hold on to I guess.

I'll keep an eye on these here though. At least for passenger side, I think they'd bug me hitting my head every time I enter or exit the car, I'm 6'3.

I like these, and my wife also had difficulty getting in a demo bronco, but will they interfere with the door window sealing? (Besides the airbags)

Here's the Paracord version from Bartact - https://www.bartact.com/products/ro...3&_sid=09459614d&_ss=r&variant=39511494033451

Shouldn't affect window sealing as these are screwed in on the cabin side of the roll bar, not the window side.

Ah Okay, even better. I saw a wrap around design on their website. I should have tried your hyperlink. Thanks!

Damn, I ordered the other version from Bartact before the paracord version was available. Would have been cool to get paracord to match the blue trim in my BD. Oh well, my vertically challenged wife will be happy either way.

EDIT: Nope, just realized they were available before I placed my order, I just didn't notice that option. Oh well...

Do you like them? does it work well attached to those bolts? any flex in the plastic cover on the roll bar?

I'll have to get back to you on that. The grab handles finally shipped today, and the Bronco is still in transit but expected to arrive end of next week or beginning of the following week.
