Front passenger seat Grab Bar

[snipe]

Hi Guys,

Looking to add a grab bar to the roof of the front passenger seat of the fender - more of a habit thing for the girl when she jumps in and potentially when I scare the hell out of her with my dodgy driving.

Has anyone got some tips on how to do this the most effective way? eg what are the most sturdy plugs without damaging the roof mouldings?

Probably on an old post but cant find anything - appreciate any tips

Cheers

Bob

Can take piccys but he 110 has a wire long the top of the pasenger door we assume it is for the rearwiper/washer...130's don't have rear washer/wipers;)

It's for the rear wiper/washer alright, but it's not a wire - it's the water pipe :) Even so, as long as you move it out of the way before drilling, there shouldn't be a problem.

I picked up some 2nd hand handles like in the rear of a Defender for $10 each from British Offroad, and just screwed them in myself. Mind you, I also removed the factory lining, so not sure if that would work for you.
