Anyone know who sells the inner door handle (mounted on the inside frame of the door) that you can use to close the door without fingers prints? I saw it here before but can’t find it. Thanks!

Early DeLorean owners reported that their windows were jumping off the track, prompting a search for the defect and a possible fix. It turns out that they were closing the door by pressing down on the glass to avoid fingerprints on the stainless. Mystery solved!

One of the first things I noticed when collecting my Cybertruck was the "grab area" on the door. It's an extension of the window seal (although it doesn't actually "seal" anything). Grabbing there will slowly compress/bend the soft plastic and lead to premature wear.

Worse, some will pull on it to close the door, since there is nothing else in the jamb to grab. I've caught myself doing that more than once, and it's not strong enough.

There really needs to be a secure handle at the top that takes the force from opening the door, as well as providing a handhold for closing the door.

Of course, closing with the door jamb is a safety concern. Queue up the video of chopped carrots lol

This is it!!!! Wonder how it’s made or attached? Wonder if there is anything right behind that spot? I could see drilling a couple holes and secure with a couple rivets. ?
