door handles on 07 panel?

Okay so I'm going to be putting in rear seats in my 07 panel. And I was wondering if anyone has put door handles on the inside of the door to make it easy to shut. Instead of people using the door handle that opens the door.

Any pictures would be nice.

I'm thinking just some how just make one. But I wouldn't know what to bolt it to on the door.

I though the inside panel was the same and only the outside handles were missing.

You could get a regular door panel and cut the top off then attach it somehow to the top half of the panel door panel. lol

Or just use a complete window HHR door panel & cut out the window blank portion from your piece

If I understand the question correctly you're trying to get some kind of door pull for the inside of the door to make it easier for passengers in your new rear seat to close the door right? I agree with the others about buying trim panels from windowed doors, though I have no idea why you'd have to cut them. I'd think you'd probably want to make something to fill the hole where the window would normally go so that they're not staring at painted metal. otherwise wouldn't the interior panel just fit into place the same way it would if the door had a window?

That's what I was trying to say. If you could combine the two different door panels, it would look the best.

It's the combining the two that I'm thinking probably won't work out as intended. We're talking about some large pieces of plastic. That's why I suggested just making some blanks to fill in the window hole on the other door panel. It's easier to do, and will probably end up looking better in the long run.
