Re: Issue with rear door design.

Call me naive, but what is this "foot technique" people are mentioning?? I can only think it would be to lock the door open via the 'door stay', but why use the foot?

Correct, I often find myself doing it as well, usually because I have one hand opening the door and the other carrying something, so the only spare hand I have is my foot.

If that makes some sort of sense.

Cheers, OldGreyGuy

Thanks OGG! I might give it a try next time but will probably end up with one stuck foot and a bunch of broken goods :shock: :lol:

guys, i beleive the earlier 90 series didnt have the lock mechanism to lock the back door in place... maybe thats why its a pain?

*EDIT* never mind, 12 month old GXL? shouldnt be an issue

Re: Issue with rear door design.

The only issue I have is smacking my shin on the towbar after opening the door. But that's more of a my stupidity issue than a Prado issue. :mrgreen:
