how do shaved doors open?

Ive never actually noticed before how they open without handels...

do most have a built in door poper? that opens the door a crack when you hit the unlock button?

Or does the door unlock from the remote, then you have to grabb the window sill to pull it open?

Just curious... ive never opened a shaved door personally


tnx

Also remember to get a backup popper that is wired directly to your car in a spot noone else can get at. Just in case the electronic poppers stall out on you

Does anyone else find something wrong with the above statement?

deviant1 is right, illegal here....if you get into an accident and you are stuck in the car and they need to get to you, they can't - because they can't open your door!!! Jaws of life :-)
