[DML] RE: Closing your doors from the outside

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is this a problem ?
I've always closed the door as shown in the Driver's Handbook (I have the spiral bound one - with illustrated photos!)

You stand next to/behind the door with the door open.
You reach up and place your palm/little finger down on the bottom window seal (behind the power window, just above the door lock)
You close the door with confidence - thud! 
Door closes the way it should (provided your latches and anchor pins interact the way the should)

DO NOT try and close the door by pressing down the front or middle of the door.
You have to press down the rear of the door.

Best of all - no fingermarks!

Subject: Closing your doors from the outside

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.

Any thoughts?
