Door 'opens' while driving
I just picked up my car on Friday 1/8, after a couple of months at DMC CA, and drove it this weekend.
Four times while driving, the driver door 'opened'. By 'opened', I mean that it unlatched. It didn't actually fully open - I couldn't push it open - but it had clearly unlatched so I could hear the road noise and feel the air around the door.
After the first time it happened, I paid close attention to closing the door. To make sure it was completely closed, but it still happened.
Any thoughts / help?
RESOLVED: Door 'opens' while driving
Okay... short answer: user error.
Longer answer:
On one of my recent stops by DMC California, I mentioned to Danny and Cameron that the door seemed 'hard' to close, and I felt like I had to slam it pretty good to get it to close. I referenced the suggestion here about adjusting the pins. They said that was a possibility, but they hadn't noticed an issue while doing maintenance on 10515.
One of them asked me to get in the car and close the door... and they spotted it immediately. As a newbie owner, I ASSumed that the strap was to pull the door close enough to grab the handle. D'oh!
Now, for those future new owners who run across this thread, the answer is this. Don't close the door by the handle, use the strap and/or the armrest to close the door.
Since that moment, every time I close the door, it closes easily and solidly. AND, the door hasn't popped open once!
Thanks all!
