Door closing problems
 

If you close the rear doors onto a "closed" front door, you will tear up the leather/vinyl on the rear door at the point where it touches the front door.

It seems kinda crazy that the car was designed that way, but we now have to live with it.

So, how about some type of protective sponge type apparatus that can be placed in the area of potential contact so as to protect that area.

how about....

I think you have an open and shut case.
cheers.

hehe lol open and shut hehe

If the dealers add the cushion on each door, will they pad the invoice?

cheers

i should note that that pic is from the mazda japan website. i have no idea if/when it may be available in the states.

Why would you close the front door and leave the back door open? Seems kind of an odd situation to get yourself into.

"hey todd what happens if you close the front door first and then close the back door?"

"i don't know bob, it will probably damage my car but lets try it any way. ok front door is closed now give it a really hard shove bob."

"damn todd, that doesn't look too good i wonder if the same thing would happen on the other side....."
