Hey all, hopin for some advice and possibly a work around!

I just bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FL ... UTF8&psc=1

Not sure that it'll fit as is so I'll have to do some drilling maybe?

Thoughts?

Watch out for the side curtain airbags! But with some care, it can probably be done.

How are the side airbags affected? Aren't they above and behind the front windows?

Here's a photo I grabbed from one of Diggerfreek's threads:

It looks to me like the side curtain airbag begins near the top/middle of the A-pillar.

I've been wanting to do something like this. Hate that there's nothing to hold on to up front. Let me know if it works out.

The airbag begins there (1/2 up) but the blue strap in the Pic, also needs to be free/ clear of any obstructions for the curtain bag to deploy properly. Same goes for the "A" pillar trim. It needs to be able to pop off and out of the way.

Looks like this won't be happening. Maybe those will fit on the headrest posts, similar to the paracord ones you can buy everywhere?

What about mounting something in the middle of the ceiling?

Those are a good price... Bass pro has similar in the boating aisle, $10.00 each and the miles aren't grommeted
