Sprayskirt Tab - Winter Access

Just wondering if there are any ideas out there regarding the issue of better access to the sprayskirt tab/grab. With cold, not so tactile sensitive fingers, under winter gloves/mitts in combination with my tab which seems to stick down to the deck, I'm concerned about extra time being required to locate the tab adequately for the "tug" during a wet exit.

I am considering glueing some shock cord to the skirt in attempt to form a loop incorporating the sprayskirt grab which will stick up for better access.

Any thoughts appreciated.
