Those Of You With Shaved Door Handles...

[terd ferguson]

If I was to shave the outside door handles, would it be ok to just remove the handle and weld a patch over the indention without using poppers and solenoids? I was thinking of just reaching through the vent window to open the doors from the inside handle. It would more than likely be only temporary until I got some poppers and solenoids. Would there be any problems that I haven't thought of to run like this until I got the poppers and solenoids? I just want to make sure it won't mess up any of the door opening internal parts to be opening and closing the door with no outside handle attached.

Thanks in advance for the help.
