Black "lever" inside door?

[bruker]

What's the black "lever" that located near the latch mechanism for?

Pictures may help....

I'm not smart enought to do the pictures thing. Just open your door and look near the latch mechanism. Near the lip of the door there's a black metal piece that's ~1/2" x ~1-1/2" that sticks out a bit. It looks like something you grab a pull but I'm not sure what it does.

Is it on the outer edge of the door, right in line with the door lock?

It is either the door latch loop, or a door handle for the rear door.
The door latch loop is a metal bar or plate about the size you describe. The rear door handle is usually plastic and recessed into the frame (so the door can close).

My bet is door latch loop.

It's located on the drivers door.

Better be on both sides! That's one thing that iritates me about some of the new cars is that no lock on the passenger side, have to use the fob.
