RRE doors are dangerous

Was washing this baby and when i came to the lower corner part of the door, i almost cut myself. Luckily, the hard plastic that finishes the door knifed thru the wash cloth first but it still gave me some slight cut on my hand. RRE owners should be aware of this sharp edges on the door - hopefully it would not slice thru someones leg in the future.

RE: RRE doors are dangerous

It's a question of which is worse a metal door corner, or a bit of plastic cladding? Both would do some damage but I agree it is quite a pointed corner!

RE: RRE doors are dangerous

Rolling with Laughter well I have heard it all now. This is my fourth LR and all have had the black plastic along the bottom of the doors and i have never cut myself, I have washed the evoque lots of times ignorant to the danger that lurked around the doors, I will take it on board.

Only teasing Very Happy

Not found mines that sharp but I supposed if you applied enough pressure you may get a friction burn.

RE: RRE doors are dangerous

Well thank you for the warning which I hope will be heeded by LR's litigious North American customer base and so avoid a Class Action Law suit.

By the way, didn't anyone tell you? The Evoque itself is dangerous. Drive it into a tree and you will probably die. Best leave it at home and walk...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Life is dangerous, driving is dangerous. You had better stop in bed to avoid risk, oh hang on a bed can be dangerous too.
