Easy Living (wide open):

The driver’s door on my car opens particularly wide, making it so easy for me to slip in and out. Someone recently admired my very open car door, so I decided to share its secret with you. Here’s how to do it:

Open the door wide.

Inspect: you should find a plastic harness in the front that goes tight, limiting how wide the door opens. If you do not see this harness, I strongly suggest skipping the remaining steps.

Back slowly out of your (or any) garage.

Ignore the loud grinding sound warning you that the door is caught on the center post of the garage, and the harness is stretching to the max.

As soon as the harness snaps, slam on the brakes to prevent real damage.

You’re all set! Drive forward a little so you can close the car door.

I must admit that I omitted the inspection step above. Although I’ve enjoyed my wide door for years, I have not adjusted any of my other car doors.
