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!

    Ya, but the strength of an old man or woman isn’t going to be enough pressure to cause any damage. I’ve had one for my mom and sister, and they left no damage at all.

      Its not about strength, its about weight. And again I’ll say it, they fail eventually.
