Fantastic Idea, I have been using vice grips with a rope tied to it. It works but your solution is permanent and sure looks a lot better.

Definitely a nice addition. My suggestion is much lower tech.

It is 1/2" aluminum rod, I made a slit in it on my tablesaw, put it in my drillpress to round off the ends, drilled two holes in it, than I slid it on the vinyl strip and put 2 screws in it.

Like! I'm thinking maybe two flat brackets bolted together? |

NICE JOB! That will sure keep you off the step stool and on the ground.
After seeing this I am going to have to make one up, but how much will I owe you for the patent infringement? Goose

That is a good idea! I don't have the tools to make something like that but I'll find something that will work.
