Is there any other way to close a door (from inside the car) besides using the door handle or using your hand on the exterior of the door (windor down) on the baby birds? I don't like using the interior door handle for fear of breaking smething.

Not sure what you expect to break but that inside handle/armrest is designed for closing the door...
Anything else you try may well get you a mashed finger.

Not that I know of. I know how you feel. You can't use the armrest as there is no pocket and the inside handle always feels like it will pull off. What I do is try to get it "going" without pulling too hard, more of a long pull than a hard pull, and just before it closes let off the handle and let the weight of the door finish closing it. I had a couple times I tried to be gentle and the door seemed fully closed but flew open on the first curve, luckily at slow speed.

There is no indentation on the armrest where you an put your fingers in to pull the door shut on the baby birds. I looked up pix online and could not find any that showed the indentations. Engineering SNAF(Fouled) U?
