    Hey, I just thought of a brilliant idea. Instead of sticking that under a mat under all the other shit that’s probably stored in the storage pocket, maybe they could put it somewhere more easily accessible, like above the door pocket entirely. And instead of a steel cable to pull, maybe they could use some sort of lever that pulls the cable without needing to see it. And since that is so easy to access, the normal way of opening the door that requires power becomes redundant and could be removed to save costs.

    Oh but the electronic opener also lowers the window slightly otherwise it’ll break because the window makes a part of the seal and they couldn’t design it in a way that would work with the normal window position? Why would you do that? So there’s a chance that opening the door in winter will smash the window because sometimes those mechanisms freeze in the cold? Or do they constantly run heaters to avoid this?

      It would never catch on, I mean think of how ugly it would look.

      Also that level of over engineering with the windows would make a German blush, just peak backwards.
