Butt marks - hmmmmmm There are two ways I know would work and one I�m not so sure about..... Lower the suspension or grow longer legs are sure winners here . The - maybe- is those fender skirts from the Syncro . When you�ve torn the plastics or your back pocket off one too many times you learn to lift your saggy ass a bit higher . Wait a bit........ Some clear foil might help too Or a log to stand on while entering . Then there has to be a rope attached to the log but don't forget to haul it in before you take off or there will be other weird paintjobs to attend to . Maybe you could use the little step in front of the wheel too, you�ll see it when you open the door . A solid grip at the steering wheel and the other hand at the backrest will help to lift the body up . But then there is the problem with getting the other foot to pass by the one up on the step . Nah � think that we have to face the reality here ! Like with the exotic sportscars (Ferarri, Lamborghini etc. ) there is no elegant way to enter / exit a Vanagon but to slide on the fender and thereby grind the colour off :-( I smell a conspiracy between DuPont and VW !!
