Default handles that mount on forward part of interior

Ok. Not sure where to get or exactly what they are called. A few months back I saw someone selling a set of grab handles that mounted on the roll bar in the corners of the windshield. Anyone know where I can get these?

I've got the Synergy Manufacturing Grab Handles.

Both the front & rear are at the corners.
There are another maker or two of corner metal grab handles, which I find less comfortable, because the part you grab is more upright.

Parked in direct sun, the black metal got hot, so I wrapped them with some Emergency Repair Tape, Self-Fusing Silicone Tape. (This kind of tape comes in various colors.)

I have the Grabars in mine, 7/16" of solid steel, extremely sturdy - I've thought about suspending our 3 month old from one to show how strong they are, but my wife would probably kill me. I also looked at the handles from Carolina Metal Masters. What I liked about their's was that one of the mounting bolts had a ball on the end that you could mount a RAM mount too for your phone or GPS. I went with the Grabars instead because I didn't want a closed loop handle like the CMM ones are. One thing to be aware of on both, though, is that the rear handles (if you have a 4 door) cut down on your clearance getting in and out. It's not a whole lot (maybe 3/4"), but they don't have any padding so they'll hurt if your passenger isn't paying attention and bangs his/her head.

The install was straight forward. A bit of the A-pillar plastic cover has to be cut or filed off, no big thing.
I used a large round file.
