Why no grab handles in the roof lining? - XFullFatTim - 02-03-2012 08:11pm

Simples, there are side airbags/curtains all along the header rail above the doors................... screwing grab handles into them wouldn't do them a lot of good and if they were ever to be activated those sitting close to the curtain airbags would be hit in the head by a grab handle flying at supsersconic speed and then the screws to attach the gabs would finish off the job of killing the passengers.

Wholeheartedly agree. They managed it no problem on the FL2!

LOL. Sounds like a line from a "They Might Be Giants" song...

But seriously, the little coathanger hook doesn't look up to the task. I'd like me some grab handles please. Off topic, but has anyone tried those car seat coat racks such as this?

But there are coat hanger hooks that fold out of the courtesy light fittings!

Grab handles would certainly be helpful when trying to exit from the rear seats in the coupe
