My wife has mobility problems and has difficulty getting out of our C3 Aircross, so I ordered a grab handle which is supposed to hook into the door lock buckle.

Unfortunately the Citroen door buckle seems to be smaller than most other makes, so the grab handle does not fit.

Anybody know if there a similar device available which will fit the Aircross?

I met with the same result. What I am going to do is use my angle grinder on the part that goes in the door loop so it fits. Nothing to loose.

Funnily enough, I have just ordered a different model and if it doesn't fit, I am going to do exactly the same thing!

Hopefully you can find someone local that can get handle to fit, it was only the other day I saw another use of the door lock it was a step up footrest to gain access to roofbars.

As I said, I ordered a different make and it fits without any modifications ☺️

It only fits side on i.e. across the door opening but it will be perfect.

Took the angle grinder to mine and after 15mins work had reduced the width and the rear profile. Checked that the top front profile fitted against the door loop and that the rear face rested on the loop bottom bolt and it's a good'un
