How to exit your car, without scuffs! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

636 · 05-04-2014, 10:02 PM

I know a LOT of people's main complaint about this car is how easily the door panel gets scuffed from shoes and whatnot. Well, I figured I'd make a tutorial on how to exit your car properly, since a few of y'all need it.

I know, a tutorial on how to leave a car, who knew? Well, apparently this community needs it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I decided against purchasing the JPM speaker panels purely because of how often my feet hit that area. Maybe with your technique I can get them.

So that's what I've been missing! Thanks for the tutorial, I've been doing it wrong since the beginning!

I'll have to try this. Glad I'm only 5'-2". Lol

Turbo95eg6 · 05-05-2014, 01:38 PM

OP that's an interesting technique I must admit, but I still prefer my old fashioned method.

Oh hell, I'm 6'2" with long legs and bad knees. I'm just glad I can get in and out of the car at all.

Try using your left hand to lift your left knee when exiting.

That looks way more complicated than it needs to be. Plus rotating in the seat like that, wouldn't you eventually scuff the seat fabric.

I usually get in and out through the trunk, way less of a chance of scuffing anything in the interior. Plus it looks cooler.
