Out of curiosity I just tried it on my '04 Element and it won't lock unless I pull the handle out while pushing down on the door lock.
That stinks. They must have changed it between 04 and 07. Or mine's broken.

Mine IS broken in a way--it was really windy a couple of weeks ago in Tulsa. I went to the airport to pick up the husband. In the parking lot some guy was getting in his car and the wind ripped his car door out of his hand and dented the E's rear passenger side door. :P I got the estimate today, $1026! whoa.

The guy was going to leave, but I happened to be walking up to the car and saw it happen. He gave me my insurance information. I'm afraid to call him.
