Back doors..What the???

Howdy,

Day 3 FJing and had some family in the back seat..besides the plus of the back seat being small so people won't ask you to drive how the heck are you supposed to close the back doors...was wonding if they forgot to add the handles? It's not just the doors, I have a 2000 Tundra with the suicide doors and they are a piece of cake...suggestions? THought or as a newbie...did I miss something..HELP!

THanks Linn

Re: Back doors..What the???

When I get back there, I close it as I'm going in. I grab the edge the door behind me. Or, you could grab the cup holder area and just pull. If you're really lazy, just let the driver close the door for you .

Re: Back doors..What the???

if you pull on the front seat belt fast enough, that works too.

Re: Back doors..What the???

Just let the driver close it for the back seat passenger. Or the front seat passenger whichever side the back seat passenger is on. View it as being the big wig in the back with a chauffeur. I think I spelt that wrong.

That is the "rule" in our family. If one is riding in the back, the other closes the door for them as a gesture of appreciation for riding in the front seat...

Re: Back doors..What the???

I just use my MIND and it shuts....or it could be that the front passenger shut it for me while my eyes were closed trying to use my MIND to shut it!
