Default Passenger Grab Handle

The Crossfire Coupe does not have a passenger grab handle, and with the handling ability of this vehicle probably should have one - anyone install a third-party handle or have any other recommendations?

What is your definition of a "grab handle" ... it should have a passenger door pull handle to close the door

Yeah, the door pull handle can suffice for support, but I'm more thinking of the usually above the window mounted grab handle

I have not seen a handle in that location ... but that's not saying it can't be done ... Google and see what you find
I Know for sure my Roadster doesn't have one ...

Yeah, if a roadster were to have one it'd be on the A pillar, which sometimes has one. I've found some handles on Amazon which use screws to attach to drilled holes, which seems somewhat iffy, but it might work and be strong enough

If you install one, make sure you go into metal. That plastic isn't going to hold up and if any really pulls on it, any trim piece will likely come off or break.

The passenger door handle should be sufficient. Clearly either a pillar or above the window mounted grab handle would have been both a desired and useful feature.

Not a good idea to drill through the roof to install an "oh ****" handle.

A passenger grab handle would not only be useful for "spirited driving" but also for entry and exit for aging passengers. A pair of proper threaded receptacle in the A" pillar like a Riv-Nut would allow a sturdy handle to be attached.
