Anyone Else Cut By Outside Trim Piece?

troubadour · 06-14-2012, 10:35 AM

It happened when I was sort of "rolling" out of the car in a cramped working environment. There wasn't much space for opening the door very wide, and I had stuff in my hands. So when I'd "roll" backwards and outwards, my arm hit up against that thing. Well, doesn't sound like others had much trouble with it so I guess I'll just consdier it an early war wound and smile about it. After I filed them down a little I don't think they'd do much damage now anyway, but they had a VERY sharp edge on them before I filed them.

you filed them down? i think the best approach would be to learn a better way to get out of the car..

Filing a knife-like edge down to a normal trim edge was nothing. You couldn't even tell it by looking.

i have to agree after looking at that area last night. you are right, it is cut to a rather sharp edge. i can see how it can catch your arm if you worm out the door in a tight spot.

Got a cut on back of hand when I reached under the passenger seat to get a pair of sunglasses that had slid back there under acceleration. Now I don't leave them on the floor...

i put some DiNoc on the b-pillar cover for kicks. looks good i think. i have picts in my albums page if interested.

I am glad this is resolved as I can not find anything sharp upon my own door.

Haven't had this happen to me yet. I'll look at mine when I leave work today, seems interesting.
