Hi there,

On my 80 Vanagon I have to lock the doors with the key. Doesn't work with
holding handle or so, use the key. You can't lock the key in the van. Good
thing. I had a 72 Westy which doesn't have this future.

If you have power locks, you need the key to lock them from either side.
This is to avoid locking the keys inside. As trick you close the sliding
door last.

Ok, maybe this isnt an issue on most vanagon, or maybe it is, but how do
you close your door as a passenger and lock it? Holding in the handle
while closing doesnt work on either driver or passenger side from what I
can tell. Is there some kind of secret to making this work?

I know my baywindows always had that option, and im assuming they didnt
remove it. So do I have faulty handles, or is there a trick im missing?

thanks!
