I cannot get into my car driver/passenger side without rolling all my windows down from the outside. I have replaced all doors once before and then the front two doors broke once again must be replaced again, I feel it is a safety hazard, if I were to wreck and became unconsious in a burning car the person on the outside would not be able to get into the front of the car.
