Compartment pull handles
Anyone know where to get a vinyl pull handle like is on the port side observer seat door on the LSV's? I want to install them on the V-drive sun pad compartment doors to make them easier to open.

Those are nothing more than straps made up of interior scraps when the skins are stitched up.
I went to Strapworks and ordered up some polypro webbing to make my own. I ordered up 3' of of a couple of different colors to match the accent stripe in the interior. There's no minimum order at Strapworks, think mine was $3.
I removed the finger cup under the hatch covers and stapled a loop of webbing rigt to the bottom of the starboard with ss staples. I then cut a notch in the cup where the strap would exit so the cup could sit back flush. Mine sit about an 1 1/2 above the vinyl surface. Two seasons now and they work just fine and look good and can't get damaged as vinyl straps can.2007 Mobius LSV

Here's another shot at a different angle. I ordered silver gray & charcoal gray, turned out the charcoal gray is an identical match to my charcoal accent stripes which is the only color in the interior.

Thanks Razzman, that's looks like the ticket.

Great idea Razz why the heck didn't you share that before now?
Little jealous I didn't think about it before now!
