the only bad thing about getting off topic attention, is that these threads are usually started by users. therefore the drama is limited. but clearly im entertained anyways.

I almost always use the top aft edge of the glass. This keeps it from jamming me in my rib cage, which it has done a bunch of times. A short wipe with the micro fiber towel in the driver's side door pouch takes care of the evidence when it concerns me....Chris

Really?

I always park on an incline so the door will shut itself when let go.

you could install one of those remote-control servo-operated door open/close things like on show cars. then only your key fob gets fingerprints

Sick OCD'ers here. Almost as bad as the guys on my watch forums that don't get a scratch or fingerprint on their watch.

Make sure you repaint your roof though! You might get chased out of the country.
