Question Close front door before back door?

What happens if the person in the front closes their door before the person in the back closes their door?

CRUNCH!



Does it matter?

wait, who was it?? m477 (sorry, i dunno your real name)?? dan?? bern?? Sputnik?? someone reported to us from one of the shows that there is a lot of padding on the inside of the rear door where it will contact the front in the (very likely event) that the rear door should be closed upon the front... of course, it won't close, but they thought about it and took some amount of measure to protect against really severe damage.

That was Puppy1.

I witnessed someone trying to slam the rear door at the L.A. autoshow completely unaware that the front door needed to be open. The rear door padding hit the fornt door metal and bounced back. The front door can't latch without the back door closed, so the front door wasn't really completely closed.

You'd think that Mazda could have installed a sensor or two with a stopping mechanism or a high pitch audible warning system.
