Just kidding, but does this same thing happen to other cars? Replies to this message: alaskawhaley (Jan 03, 2008 10:34 am)

Replying to: alaskawhaley (Jan 03, 2008 12:21 am) Evidently an unevenly-distributed temperature contraction between the body panels and the underlying mounting structure, with the panels contracting notably more than the understructure in really cold temps. This would be the first mention of such a problem in an automobile that I've ever heard of, possibly because the panels are especially lightweight...

Their intro was delayed for a year or so because during testing in Arizona, the plastic doors swelled shut and could not be opened. Replies to this message: cdmuile (Jan 04, 2008 6:45 pm)

Replying to: cobrazera (Jan 04, 2008 2:42 am) Reminds me of my '85 Renault 5 " Le Car". The first time the temp hit 0 here in Iowa, the driver side push open rear seat window came off its hinges. Went to the dealer and they said they knew about the problem. They had been given a special glue by Renault to fix the problem, Two days later the passenger side window did the same thing. The glue worked. Wish they had thought about very cold weather problems before production started.
