Why choose this car door step
SUVs, estates and MPVs keep getting taller, and the roof keeps getting harder to reach. Roof bars, roof boxes and bike racks are very handy, but loading and strapping everything down on tiptoe is uncomfortable and unsteady. Standing on the sill or the seat dirties the interior and doesn't give you a safe foothold.
This door step solves the problem with something that fits in your hand. It bears on the door latch striker, a part of the bodywork designed to take heavy loads, so there's nothing to drill or stick. The aluminium is strong and light, the honeycomb pattern stops your shoe slipping, and a minute later it's back in the glovebox.
It's made for anyone heading off skiing or on holiday with a roof box, carrying bikes, kayaks or surfboards, or washing their own car and wanting to reach the middle of the roof. A small accessory that saves you straining every time.
Reach the car roof without a stepladder
Loading a roof box, strapping down bikes or a kayak, washing the roof of an SUV: without a stepladder, you end up on tiptoe on the sill, or standing on the seat in your shoes. This aluminium car door step hooks onto the door latch striker and gives you a stable foothold at the right height. According to the manufacturer, it holds up to 100 kg, its surface is non-slip and it weighs only about 216 g: it lives in the glovebox until the day you need it.
