Looks factory and a great thing for those who can squeeze into the rear of my 2dr.

Found some tubular nylon luggage handles on ebay. Zweb? Got 6 for about 12 bucks with shipping. Perfect length for rear (unlimited), seatbacks & a-pillar. Still thinking about front seat for at least the wife on the passenger side. I'm pretty comfortable with the a-pillar though. Lots of grommets left - keep thinking about the basement sale... maybe under 15 shipped.

Went the CLC route and they worked great! I used a soldering iron to melt the holes and prevent fraying.

LOL! Somebody got the reference! Kewl!

Yeah, I'm a regular on Glock Talk, but I'm not the original Gecko_45. I just carry on the legacy as best I can.

The real Gecko is in prison ATM, so I knew you, most likely, were not him, but seeing the name Geko45 gave me a good chuckle.
I hang a lot at THR and AR15, so the name is real familar.
You Mall Ninja. Thanks for the laugh.
