Hi Paula

I haven’t got any experience in that I’m sorry. I’m not sure if any of the tips in this car modifications post may help though https://havewheelchairwilltravel.net/car-modification/

Fantastic tip. Thanks for sharing another use for the Grunt strap! I’ve heard many find the bedstick helpful.
Thanks again.
Julie

Also, a bedstick is invaluable.
Thank you for your blog – it has given us much inspiration.
