I love these types of threads!

next week his door handles are going to break off and it's due to bad design as well.

I feel a thread lock coming soon......

My doors broke off in the car wash, they popped open when it was rinsing and the arm on the sprayer snapped it off at the hinge. The door should not open by just the pressure of water hitting it.

kenchan 04-29-2010 11:10 AM

ahh, so there is a reason why it broke... you didn't lock you doors when entering the autowash. :D

Now this makes a little more sense. I would never put my baby thru a carwash, so Imma safe :tup:

ahh, so now im thinking it's those autowash places that you hand off your keys and the guys there vac the car and put it into the wash for you unmanned... ok, makes sense why the car is unlocked when entering.

there are other nissans including my G that have the same setup and it hasn't broken after 6yrs... so might be time to look for another car wash or just wash your car youself.

I've had no issues with it

Cmon guys, things happen. For me it was something different like what Room42 stated.

In the beginning I didn't know it locked with the car either. Usually these doors just push to open on other cars. And the first time I opened the lid to put in gas, I didnt have to push the unlock button. When I went home I checked to see if I locked the gas cap tight enough, but it wouldn't open. So I thought maybe something got stuck and I push a little harder than usual and the locking mechanism broke. It works just fine though and it doesnt open on its own or anything like that. I know there are other people on here who has had that happen.

Methinks it's you, NOT the door. Might want to read the manual...
