Got my H2 Lux about 30 days ago. I'm a detail nut and looking at all that nice flat panel I thought "boy, is this going to be a door ding nightmare". Then I noticed just exactly where the typical econobox door would hit....right in the middle of my tubular steps, which should put a nice crease in the econobox but not my H2! Anyone else have this observation and found the steps protect door dings?

I seem to recall a thread about that, and its the same conclusion they came to!

They don't save you from screwdrivers though. I had a ding right by my driver's side door HANDLE! Yes, that high. The dent guy who fixed it said it was intentional and probably the but end of something like a screwdriver or other tool.

Albie....Wow, that's impressive. Just think of all the paint fumes, grinding particles, dirt, dust, etc. that's going to go in the air when they fix that Toy. And tree huggers say H2's aren't friendly to the ecology!

Albie-
I guess you know your tire was nearly flat? Maybe they cut your tire since they dinged their door on your sidestep and got pissed??!!
