Thanks for all the suggestions and support. As of now, I have extended the clam shell opening with paracord and installed a raised floor that is level with the seat. The whole thing is carpeted and easily removable.  This seems to have made it a lot easier for the older dog to get in and out. They both did very well in Daytona for our stint during bike week. I am also planning to add a chrome grab bar to the right side of the car to make it easier for my wife to get in and out of the seat.  As of now, not seeing a new sidecar in the budget for a long while. Thanks again
