Re: [DML] Closing your doors from the outside

["Hank" <henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this is covered in the owner's manual.  You put your hand on the door and trim just below the toll-both window (or a little further back), and gently push down.  I used to think it required a good push, but once I saw Dave T. close his doors with no more than a couple of fingers and close and latch properly, I realized it doesn't need much force at all.  If it does, your torsion bar might be wound up too much or there is something binding the way.  I'm sure Dave can provide more details.

What's your favorite method of closing the doors from outside the car?
So far, I've tried:

1. Grab the interior handle, pull down hard, and let go. The door
closes, but I have to put my whole body into it.

2. Put my hand on the door and close it. Leaves hand prints on the
stainless.

3. Use the plastic trim. Works great, but I'm afraid I'm going to
unnecessarily wear or damage the trim this way.
