YEs you can....you have to get longer bolts and go to Home DEPO and get 1x1 in metal tubing....a 4ft bar is like under 10 bucks......cut it down to I believe 42in...I forget I did this to my hatch on the first set of bolts...I have the bar waiting for the 2nd set but you have to gut the hatch door and do cutting to plastic to make it fit..........but yeah..

Longer bolts
1x1in metal tubbing.......you'll be set!!!

Wow cool, I bet it does next to nothing.

If you're really gonna waste time and money on this "mod" then make it a DIY, the benefits are not worth a significant amount of money.
