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!
I’ve never used one personally, but I always have to put my hand on the striker to get out of cars. Anyone I’ve spoken to that has one says they love it and it works great. I’m sure they’re all a little different and some may scratch paint, but it’s a decently clever device
