My father is very elderly, and I’ve noticed he has a hard time getting in and out of my parents’ car. I was researching mobility tools online and came across “car canes.” They are inserted into the loop striker of car doors to give a person leverage to get in and out of cars (see image). My question is if using such a device could damage the striker? I think it will help my father, but I don’t want to give him something that would damage their car. He is quite skinny/light-weight BTW. Thanks!
Not unless you are 350 lbs and really putting some ass on it. You have to think they are made to withstand an accident and keep you inside. Granted, they do pop open in some wrecks, but it takes a good wallop
