Product Information
Full details
The Streetwize Car Door Latch Step is an ideal accessory for vehicle owners who frequently need to access their rooftop for cleaning, securing cargo boxes, or loading sports equipment like bike racks. Designed for utility and portability, this step offers a stable, elevated platform that clips directly into your car's door latch, though users should be mindful of their vehicle's specific door frame geometry to ensure the hook makes a secure, level connection before applying full weight.

FAQs
Will this scratch my car door paint?
The step is designed with protective contact points, but it is recommended to ensure the surface is clean or place a thin piece of protective material between the device and the door frame if you are concerned about scratching.
Does it fit all vehicles?
It is designed to be universal, but it may not be compatible with vehicles that have specialized or flush-mount door latches.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While durable, this is intended to support the weight of an average adult for loading and cleaning tasks. Avoid jumping on the step or exceeding reasonable load limits.
How do I use the safety hammer?
The pointed end of the device is designed to be swung forcefully against the corner of a tempered glass vehicle window to shatter it in an emergency.
Can I leave this on my door permanently?
No, it is intended to be stored when not in active use and should be removed before closing the vehicle door.
Troubleshooting
The step does not sit level when hooked into the latch.
Check if your vehicle's door frame has an unusual curve or protrusion. Ensure the step is pushed all the way into the latch hook.
The unit feels loose or shifts under weight.
Verify that the door latch is not obstructed by debris and that the step is properly seated in the 'U' shape of the latch.
Folding hinge feels stiff.
Apply a light amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge point and wipe away excess.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Wipe down with a damp cloth after outdoor use to remove road grime or salt.

- Keep the foldable joint clean of grit to ensure smooth folding functionality.
- Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the aluminium alloy finish.
