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!
Some people in here have never drove an abused Chevy S10/Blazer lool. You look at the striker wrong and it falls off.
To be honest though, they usually get damaged in older cars where people neglect their door pins and the doors start to sag and slam into the strike…
