^^agreed. Would suck if your battery died and the door open lol.

SC's doors are too heavy. They roll down quick but the motor will not be strong enough to bring it back up lol I'll be dam if my door gets scratched if the ground clearance is less than 6"

Cool design but I imagine it'd be a pain to service the motor controlling that, not to mention the additional weight from the setup.

I agree with king. Some of us don't even have 6mm of clearance. Lol, let alone 6"
Cool idea, jus not practical, there is a reason why the simple door has stayed in production this long. IT'S PRACTICAL lol
