I don't say anything. I simply turn on the passenger side dome light. They figure it out from there.

Now, I'll admit- it's a not a very intuitive location. I remember my first ride in a S2k and I indeed thought it was a bit funky.

So every time I have someone new in the car I'm forced to say something. When I see my passengers fumble for the handle I say the line, "It's more forward than you think." I say this ALL the time.

What do you guys say when your passengers get entombed in your car and grasp fruitlessly at the tweeters and arm rest?

I had that problem with my wife all the time , it is very dark in the cabin for sure. I installed a silver carbon fiber dash kit from Burtman Industries which lightens up door handles and window switches. I also modified the wiring to allow the remote control to work while the key is in the ignition and the car running, so I can unlock her door using the remote, one less step for her to fumble with.
