This is a link to a Handle device on Amazon that slips into the door latch loop and provides an extra handle to get in and out of the vehicle. I am getting to an age where that looks attractive. There are many similar items available in that area of Amazon. All of them actually give a six inch lever to pry the latch right out of the frame of the car. One reviews points this out. Such an event would leave you on the ground with a major expense to fix the damage.
Is that a realistic possibility only if the frame has hidden damage or major rust or you weight 400+ pounds?
