On the slant window cars, you just grab the inside door handle and pull. I don't like it either. Seems a bad design.

Because there are no "finger pulls" like on a Tudor, Coupe, etc. and the handles are weak, I go to the pain of rolling down the window and pull on the door outside.

My Victoria has these little "grabbers" mounted on the door window frame to aid in closing the door. I have seen them on a number of cars.

I thought all the Victoria's and Town Sedans had the pulls that Tom showed.

Neither one of my two Victoria's with original door trim have those. Not a bad idea but I am pretty sure someone added those. Was it a dealer add on??

My town sedan doesn't have them either. The original door handles are all cracked from being used to close the doors.

The straight window town sedan comes with those. I'm thinking the cabriolet might as well.
