You must close the back door for the front door to latch. It won't damage anything if you don't close the back door and move the front door 'closed' but its not attached to anything, and trying to close the back door after the front could crunch some stuff.

Always close the back doors first. When you have passengers, it is mandatory to shout "CLOSE THE BACK DOORS FIRST!" when exiting the car. Never close the front doors while the back doors are open.

Kinda sad how people lack common sense.. I mean, you look at the doors and it's kinda obvious that the rears latch first, and then the front latch into the rears..

Don't forget that if someone is closing your trunk to yell "DO NOT SLAM THE TRUNK" unless you like water in your tail lights.

Lucky for me, people only forget that I have suicide doors, so when they close the front door first, they are like "Oh ****, my bad!"

I train my passengers well.

Yeah I knew that the front door latched into the rear. Just paranoid about the doors getting damaged due to people not realising or just being dumb

one of my passengers didn't know i had back doors once. I opened the door remotely so they could get in, and they were trying to recline/move the seat forward so someone could get into the back seat....I told them there was a backdoor and he went NO WAY!!!

You have no clue how often this happens.. I just sit and watch, and laugh.
