Whats happens to side impact? I guess the other car will simply drive right through the car.

it looks like it gets really close to the ground when it is folding down. i wonder what would happen if the car had men of average weight in it instead of the 110lbs models they used. lol
i also would like to know what happens to this system in an accident or if the battery is dead.

the battery is a good point...but even more practical. what if its raining? the window goes down b4 the door opens, that would make the car get so much wetter.

There was a vid of it posted before, but it wasn't as long or as detailed. Its probably not practical enough for a daily driver. But if I had a showcar or wanted to use something eye catching on a weekend cruiser I'd get one installed as soon as I had the money.

yeah those doors look paper thin. but it sure does make entry and exit a whole lot easier.

pop quiz! anyone heard of the BMW with the doors that slid down?

It probably has a manual latch release somewhere like with the shaved door handle kits.


It looks pretty cool on that car, but I'd have to see it on other cars. It's gotta cost a good deal of money too. Hmm... go fast parts, .... or sliding doors. Tough decision :lol:
