The Vanagon doorhandle is another moronic bit of VW design. Show it
someone who has never seen one and they will not know how to close an
open slider; they will not ba able to open it from the minside
withpout a bit of dicking around. VW invented the sliding van door,
but WHY couldn't VW swallow its pride and copy the early (60s) Hiace
handles, which are like those of modern cars? Intuitive, light to use.
