Interior trunk lid handle?

Interior trunk lid handle?
Just bought a 2013 GT/CS and I can't believe there's no handle inside the trunk lid to pull it down without leaving fingerprints on the outside. Doesn't this bother anyone else? Especially with the glossy black plastic on the trunk lid -- it's a fingerprint magnet! Any creative solutions to this issue?

Wow! What a horrendous issue to have to contend with...
Sheesh! Ever thought to use a rag or towel so you don't have to actually touch that poor fingerprint trap???

I have a trunk monkey to close it. He works for food, and is potty trained. He also likes it dark, hence his being ok in the trunk. I installed a little toilet for him in the right rear area. Only thing I really don't like is having to change that blue stuff. Had to put a right side fuel door for that bit.
/I was going to lie and say I crawled into the trunk while the seat backs were down and pull the trunk closed, but that's just silly, and it's easier to keep up with the truth anyway. PETA and ASPCA be darned, that monkey loves his job, I tell ya.

I like to get in the trunk, pull the decklid down from the inside, and then crawl through the open rear seat and into the driver's seat. that way I don't have to waste time opening and closing the driver's door.
It took me over 6 months of therapy to get over the fact that there is no pull down handle on the trunk lid.
