"Hack" the car, PoC

I just got a new car. It is a VW Passat Variant. As such the back hatch opens upwards and the handle become very high to my two daughters. They are unable to close it.

I was thinking, how to handle this, without modifying the car itself. If I just tie something there, it would hang outside the car, what is a bad idea.

So, two velcro strips and a dog leash helped.

The girls can pull the door down, while the dog leash automatically winding itself into the handle.

I'll go to an animal shop and by a proper one. This expected back by Bruno.
