How about some carbon kevlar doors to go with verticle doors so we don't to worry about sagging fenders... =D

 

Are vertical doors proven to cause this sagging? Is it on all cars or just the tC? What do the manufacturers say about this? Seems that at least Vertical Doors claims it's 100% safe to install...

 

"Nahhhh just a Kidney"


oh SWEET! I have TWO of THOSE!

 

Try my way...jump in and out thru the moon roof...just like the KungFu master

 

I guess its not an issue for me cause Im used to handling something that is heavy and long (yes its a ***** joke)

 

Sorta OT, but it relates to the topic name...Does anyone else's door make a strange hollow thunking sound when they close it kinda hard? I was surprised by the noise because they are rather heavy. I am going to add a few layers of sound deadening to them regardless, but I was curious if this is common to all tCs or just mine.

 

Is This what the note you left read "Iam soooo sorry about your door dent man.. You see I have these long heavy door and couldn't control it. I hope everything works out good getting your door fixed. I done this to sooo many cars already, but I'd like to say to you just like all the others .. Iam really sorry "

 

i like heavy doors, feels more solidly built (or full of all kinds of crap?).
doors are long, its a coupe...that's just how it is.
thanks for leaving notes. you are a good person

 

crap did I leave a note on your car?

 

Its not the long heavy doors that bug me, its the fact that they swing wide open. My 350Z had long heavy doors and I never had that problem. I'm getting used to grabing the door before it swings wide open now so its all good.

 

unless you can somehow close that moonroof when you leave the car, id use the rear hatch. at least you can close the hatch. lol.

 

I could see that... Are you exceptionally tall, or just a big guy? I know that some of the taller people on Scion Life have said they have problems getting in and out of the tC.

I'm a small guy, and I'm not kidding when I say I squeeze out of the car when I park next to someone!

Try some scratch remover on your doors to cover the damage, or if the paint's actually flaked off, use a toothpick to apply some touch-up paint, then go over it with a rubbing compound and wax when it's dry.

 

I like the weight of the doors. Makes me feel safe. I rented a Corolla while my tC was having some work done, and it felt like a death trap.

And seriously... Yeah.

 

That's right. And I must say that was the best hand job I've ever had! Sorry, I had to!

 

I was waiting for that

 

yal stupid. thats what i'm sayin. u might need to hit the weight room bruh.

he sounds like he had a 4 door for years and then got a tc. the door felt heavy to me to but i knew that a lot of 2 door cars have heavy doors. i'm careful.

 

Allen you beat me to it.. ^^^^ I second that

 

My Z28 had the biggest heaviest doors ever so the tC was a nice change of pace for me.

 

I have trouble getting my feet out of the door when it is only halfway open. I have to
do this weird half turn and pull my foot far enough back so that I can get out without scuffing up my shoes or the door sill. It's a pretty minor complaint. I've driven cars that had doors so flimsy a light wind would smack it back at you. The problem with heavy doors is if a wind hits them, they frickin' hurt. During some wind gusts during hurricane Wilma, I had the door flip back and slam my leg so hard it went numb. I guess the only fix would be a sliding door like in a minivan.

 

I've had all 4-door cars before - used to lighter doors. Yeah it's a minor issue.
