Gorgon… if your a mechanic then you would know that particular door has plastic door clips, (these f’in things https://www.dkhardware.com/images/items/CP998430_32567.gif ) not screws and bolts… and the door panel comes off very easy if it gets stuck on something like… the floor from the door panel itself warping over time. Once these things come un-done you have to buy and replace them again… They are pain!

YES….YES THEY DO! THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME THAT’S A SABLE OR A TAURUS! LOOK IT UP! It happens all the time to that car!

And to you people thinking its screws and bolts and crap… your wrong they are little plastic cilps… once they come uncliped you have to buy them, and fix it again cause they are the “pop in” kind…

This is a Sable or Taurus. I have the same car and the same fu*&in thing happens to me, its been fixed multiple times yet it keeps happening.

*Prepare for all your door handles to start sticking so when an unsuspected that sits in your back seat doesn’t push it back down from the outside, the car door goes flying open when you go around a turn! That’s a great FAIL as well.

I Believe it was on the British Leyland Challenge with the Rover SD-1. That challenge was classic!

Perhaps – with a different car.

Top Gear, a British show, wouldn’t waste their time on a vehicle not available to them.

I have a 1997 myself.

You can NOT pull the door off that way. There is a screw within the door panel you have to remove, you have to pop off an acess cover under the handle, then pry the trim tabs off carefully, then slide the door forward and out. If it just “stuck”, then you would have had broken plastic everywhere – like 90% of these panels you find in a salvage yard, where the people had no clue how to properly remove them.

And as I pointed out, the weather sheeting has been removed in this picture.

And there is NOTHING for the trim panel to catch on inside the car.

There is ZERO chance this isn’t staged.

The car may have needed repair and the owner may have botched the job royally – but you’re talking an insane level of screw-up on a repair job here.

um, NO. my brother’s car (which i think this is my brother’s car) is exactly like this. so you are wrong and over-thinking the picture.

By: Mike M

Mike M — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:50:17 +0000

This is a 1996-1999 Ford Taurus.

It is also staged. You can NOT get the door panel to come off like that “accidentally” without breaking out the door panel around the door handle or breaking off the door handle itself – the door doesn’t pull straight off the door, but has to go sideways before pulling off.

Also note the lack of the weather sheeting that lines the inside of the door structure when the car comes from the factory.

And there is NO way the door trim panel could have jammed inside the opening for the door. There is nothing for it to catch on unless it is grossly oversized.

This is nothing but a STAGE FAIL

If it was anything like mine when I first realized it was broke… something between “HOLYSNAPI’MSORRY.” and utter confusion.

My Neon did the exact same thing, except it was the driver’s door, it was mid-winter in Chicago’s brutal ’09 cold spell, and it shattered the window in the process.

They had to take the door panel off so it would keep the junk in the back seat from falling out when they open the door. It’s obvious.

What’s the fail here? Door panel came off the door? On an old crappy car? LOL! Or someone dismantled the panel and stowed it in the door opening? Wow, that’s hillarious!

That is reminiscent of my van’s door… My dad tried to fix the windows (the motor seems to burn out or something when putting them back up) and ended up screwing up the window switches as well was pulling the plastic inside half of the door off. Now it dangles there held only by the speaker, lock, and window wires.
