I think that's what I decided about drain channel, too - likely why I
haven't done anything with that. ;>)

Thanks Wilton, I considered that route as well, however after some study
and measurement [happen to have a few Mercedes around to measure] I find
clamping anything to the drain channel would disrupt the trunk seal rubber
and breach the trunk seal in a way that could generate a leak path. So, my
choice was to use the edge of the trunk at the skin pinch weld area.
Disadvantage of that could be, the grab bar would lift with the trunk lid.

I've considered such mounted to side of the drain channel beneath side of
trunk lid, too, so as not to affect trunk lid operation - remain fixed.

The design I'm thinking of would clamp to the edge of the trunk at the
side
seam and perhaps be the length of the straight portion of the trunk lid,
so
there was plenty of good solid support that wouldn't come loose in heat,
like a suction cup will eventually.
Same clamping system for the door pieces, since the pinch weld for both
the
door edge and trunk edge is the same thickness. The grab bar would rise
with the opening of the trunk lid.. that might present a problem?
Should be good for a 200 lb pull , scientific wild ass guess calculation
wise. The actual grab bar could be, say, 1 1/4 inch diameter, so not "to
objectionable" looks wise.

While looking for a link to those, I saw this and thought that looked
smaller and more tasteful.
10lb support rating might mean it'll fall off if you slip and try to
catch
yourself on it, but the size/style might have merit...
