Well, I hadn't considered suction cup handles. I'll be honest, they make me nervous because they grab onto the thin aluminum skin, and pull it. If the skin delaminates from the foam core, everyone will be unhappy.

As an alternative, how about screwing a grab handle onto the bottom outside surface of the front shell? If the screws go into the shell's frame, it should be plenty strong. The hook could then be applied to the grab handle without fear of damage.

It occurs to me that a pull strap probably should NOT be routed across the front window's rock guard. It isn't real sturdy. But the strap could probably be routed inside the rock guard, or even close to the side of it.
