What you need to do is glue some closed cel foam on the back side of the door panel around the opening. Maybe some thats 1/4 or half inch inch thick to tighten it up.

I had the same problem. I put foam pipe insulation behind the panel. It was maybe 1/2 of an inch thick. It worked.

I can't see making the car openable with a simple coat hanger.

The opening strap has nothing to do with the locking dial. He was just showing his door panel with the dial deleted.

EDIT: Ok, never mind. I suppose the locking plunger by the vent window in his example could be opened with a hanger. Using a different style plunger that wouldn't be susceptible to that would be prudent.

In the last 7 years the roof has been up 5 times... But its a consideration.

I will definitely delete mine next time I reskin my RS panels - in 25 years I have NEVER touched those dials! I already deleted the central locking button when I removed my center console...
