help an old disabled guy..
hey guys:
I need to figure out a way to mount a door pull strap in my RCF:
this is what I am looking at:
and I need to attach it to a bolt so I can pull the door closed.
the problem I have is that because of some injuries I have from a motorcycle accident I have a difficult time reaching the door pull after getting into the car.
while I can kind of close the door part way after getting in, then let it fall closed, 7:10 times it smacks my leg or head in the process.

Check beneath the felt in the door grab. There should be a screw for you to bolt on the strap. If the screw head is too small for the strap's hole, add a washer. Make the strap hang over the door grab to give you those extra inches you may just need.

the area turns out to be too small for that buckle above..
even if I grind it down and make it fit I am concerned about long term rubbing on the door panel fabric.

Another spot... There should also be a screw behind the door handle, behind the plastic cover you pry out.
Pic of the NX below, RC should be similar.

This is the idea I am considering there are several companies that make panels to replace the factory door pull and replace it will a strap, basically it makes the door release a dual function release and pull to close.
I've found them for Porsche and MBZ, nothing for Toyota/Lexus so far:
