Default Getting in/out handles

If any one is interested in a pair of these, one on each side, email me. I have the part #'s and just installed them on my 92. They are for those of us who are tired of putting on the steering wheel getting in and out. The one on the passangers side is so that person has something to hold onto in real sharp corners. I think total cost was around $24.00.


:D

I usually put both feet on the ground to get out and up. Do you really feel they help? :chevy I thought these were called oh! poopie handles (when you brace for a crash)

Are they easy to install?

(Hmmm, thinks about drilling a couple of holes, not too tricky)

I usually just turn and push off of the seat if I need help getting out. Usually only have to do that in tight parking spaces.

Yes they are east to install. Took me about 1 hour and a few drill bits.

As far as pushing off, you end up wearing out the left hand side of the drivers seat. Also you end up with a loose steering wheel and have to get that fixed.

I don't think pushing off on the seat wears it out anymore than sitting in it in the first place. Just MHO.
