Pure decoration for me actually. Doubt my knee has ever touched it.
I have kicked the living crap out of the ones on the door climbing in and out at tight parking spots though.

Must be my weird driving position then. I prefer to be a bit closer to the pedals (so that my knees are still bent even at full pedal actuation), that usually makes my left leg tilt and rest on the knee pad.

And yea, same. My passengers are worse with that speaker trim though. Makes me wonder if buying the JPM pads were a waste

I am way back.

Gangsta style for me.

Don't be a noob and get into the car butt first then swing the legs in, like with all proper sports cars. No knee banging problems.

I can't even imagine going head first into one of these cars.

And its a beautiful thing, when your GF (or whatever female passenger) has to get in the car this same way

No knee pad hitting. My knee rests on it all the time when driving. Because 6'6"

+1 at 6'3"

Getting out is just the reverse. Left foot out, left hand on the door jam and push/roll out

The doors never open all the way. They only pretend, and then swiftly close onto your leg/arm/cadaver for maximum carnage. Don't be fooled.

I hope they fix that on the 2017s...
