    Show Me Your Door Pulls

    Looking for different ideas and options for pulling the doors closed.

    Show me your set up or ideas from leather straps or a real handle.

    Thank you!!!

    I always used the body. Doesn't break, doesn't need additional installation, nothing extra hanging inside the door. Just a few fingerprints that are going to get there anyway.

    But then I may not be the best guide, certainly not a beacon of shining light, I used Sharpies to touch-up stone chips, lots of Sharpies.

    Are you going to install door cards? If not, the big hole in the Coupe door with the frame behind it can be grabbed to pull the door shut. On mine I did both kind of. Made door cards but left the area where the door openings are open and put storage bins behind. Then braced the lower edge so I could use it to pull the doors closed. Works great. Pictures and more details in my build thread.

    That first pull would go well with the door limiting strap as it has the exact hardware.
