Door closing technique
The doors close ? I've been reading the owner's manual since December 21st and haven't gotten to the door closing section yet. I do have a problem with the battery going down all the time and I need to get that figured out. I'm now on my 5th battery. Maybe never closing the doors causes that ! Do ya think ? TGIF

Door closing technique
I have the dumbest question known to man...
Since the C7 looks to come without the rubber grips on the exterior door coves, it seems like you're almost dared to touch the paint when closing the door from the outside.
How do you guys close your doors? With your elbow? Palm? Metal latch on the inside of door?

I blow REAL hard!
In all seriousness, I understand where you are mooning from, I've just chosen not to worry about it. It's too much fun to drive!
Furthermore, I'm not disappointed that the plastic door pad is gone. I love the lines and think the wrap around pad would ruin the look.
