embarrising question....
and poor spelling...
I am the only one that has to mess with the button on the outside of the car to open the doors. Maybe I am just not used to it yet but I can't seem to get in on the first time.

The time it takes to open seems to depend upon whether the car has gone into 'sleep' mode or not. If you've walked near the car for several seconds before opening, or if the car has only been sitting for a few minutes, it seems to open very quickly. Otherwise, you have to wait a second or two with your fingers in the button.

Actually, there's another issue I've run into a few times in opening the door. The car - to - fob radio link is very short range. Trying to open the door at arm's length doesn't work. In fact, sometimes it doesn't work if I'm standing so that the fob is on the other side of my body. So if you're trying to open the door with a little bit of a stretch first time, then move in closer for your second try that could be the reason.
I find that fob in right pants pocket, standing facing forwards and close to the car and just behind the door works best. But that might depend on what else you carry in your pants pockets.

And then it usually doesn't work anyway. Filled up with dirt.

Directly under (maybe a squidge to the right) the middle of the logo on the rear fascia.

That should about do it. Let me know if you need the plans...

I find that keeping a car cover helps GREATLY.
