Question No Trunk Handle?

I've noticed that my 99 has no handle to pull down the trunk when open. Did the first gen have them? I hate using my hands to close the trunk after I just washed it. I have to use my arm and that's kind of tricky with groceries.

I've done that too, but it seems it's getting loose now.

Oh shit...that's what I've been doing. OK...I guess we need to install an auto trunk shut device.
