Just be careful and don't fall! Would it help if you popped the trunk so that you could lift the lid from the side and hang onto the area where the weatherstripping is? That might be cooler than the surface of the trunk lid. Or, keep some leather gloves in the car and pull them on before you

Yes, a fact of life that we must adapt as things change. I was just concerned that the heat might cause trouble with your suction cup gripper and let you down, so I was trying to think of options for you. You were ahead of me and had already tried them. It is unfortunate that your car is black

If that doesn't work out, perhaps a set of hand rails mounted around the car, starting at the front of the drivers door, going back all around the trunk lid. Paint it white, and it'll look like a stripe from a distance. It could come in handy for all sorts of uses, including tying things to the

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

Car just needs to be white! The license plate mounts are pretty stout. I wonder if a heavy sheet metal dingus could be fabbed that screwed behind the plate, and had 1/2" grab bars coming out of it, up and across the back of the trunk, and perhaps around the edge a bit. They'd need to be white.
