If it is rubber does it look like it can handle taking a beating, meaning, is it fairly plyable yet strong?

They're a really firm rubber... Definitely not foam... If you've ever seen the mopar grips, they're nearly identical.

If you have the mopar handle in the front, they're identical... My guess is that Mopar and CLC get them from the same supplier.

I should ask for a commission. I can't believe the guy snagged one of my pictures without asking!

Default Poor boys grab handle...

For those who want an even cheaper route.....6 ft. Double layered dog leash...$12 at local pet store.
Cut to length and installed in the same manner. Now I have a length with a sewn loop that I can attach somewhere....maybe to the inside of the passenger windshield pillar as a grab handle there....
No 'fancy' handle but if it gets the job done.

Default a few questions

Did you use the same screw from the sound bar that was on there? is there a washer or something on it? does the screw go through the nylon strap? any chance that the nylon will rip from use or the hole will streatch out and come off the screw? maybe the hole is already in the strap and stitched to prevent this .. i cann't tell ib the pics or on the website.

I Used The Soundbar Screws And Drilled A Hole In The Handles. To Keep Them From Fraying Or Tearing Take A Lighter To The Area You Will Put The Screws Threw. This Will Keep It From Comming Apart.

I ordered a set also. I might grommet my hole. (That sounds painful!)

Just be flattered he used your picture. It's not like he stole a prize winning photo or anything. Would always be nice if he asked though. I give him kuddos for lowering the shipping a couple of bucks. He didn't have to do that.
