Yeah, it happened to me just the other night. *lol*

Was working on wiping down the dash and windshield with the door open and my leg hanging out.

It really DOES hurt! Won't happen again!

Incline + Leg Out + Heavy Door = PWNED!

Yeah, it happened to me a few times. I just try to avoid sticking my leg out when I'm parked on an incline/driveway.

I am sure that sooner or later someone will break their leg.

I think you have to open the door quite far so it doesn't bounce back straight away. I did have my leg smashed a few times, now I'm more careful.

Question

Has anyone put their head out the window and pressed auto-up? Will the window crush your neck?

Sadly, yes, I decapitated myself once that way.

Happens to me all the time. nisson really need to make something for this or an aftermarket peice that dissables the auto-up when head is sticking out the diver side window while my finger presses the auto-up button.

I'd have the interior panel on the door hit my shin a bunch of times. Annoying, but it didn't hurt bad.
