It ain't orange and it ain't purty... but it works.
Loop of webbing.



Loop looped around the door handle.



Much easier to pull, thanks for the idea JBauer.

Not terrible... but JBs smooth looking ride commands the $150+ alternative.

EL... back to the drawing board.

Agreed, but note that the webbing I used was from and old strap that was lying around in my garage. A new strap in the colour of your choice would look better.

Double bonus of repurposing something that would probably end up in some landfill and keeping $170 in your pocket. win-win!

Good job! I'm spoiled now, no going back. I'm suggesting he rename the part to
Old Fart Door Handle Assist Straps. ��
