Can I fit an additional boot handle to help my mother who has restricted movement?

Some years ago you recommended a Meriva for my mother which has been good, however now she has restricted movement so can't use the boot which she needs for her rollover because she can't reach the top of the hatch when it is open. Are you aware of anything I can fit to it that she can use to pull the hatch down?

Mobility solution providers do offer additional straps that can be fitted to the tailgate to assist those with limited range of movement, such as this example: www.desgoslingmobilityltd.co.uk/products/general-a.../
