Wait until OP finds out that the windows are only single pane.

The interior metal of the door is not the exterior metal, you'll be fine.

No I think it was said that it is . That's why the windows don't let down in the 2dr .

That blue area above the armrest - is that painted metal? Because, as nice as it looks, it’s going to cause frostbite to people in cold climates, or burns to folks like me who live where the exterior of a car gets to 150°F in the summer.

Let's look at it as a simple heat transfer problem.

THE HOT SCENARIO: Car has been exposed for a sufficient period to hot temperature, the entire interior temperature is uniform at 150 °F. Customer opens door and instantly touches bare skin to metal - at 149°F it takes a minimum of 1 second for a 1st degree burn (Johns Hopkins) . 1 second is quite a long time when touching something hot.

THE COLD SCENARIO: Car has been exposed for a sufficient period to cold temperature, the entire interior temperature is uniform at -40 °F. Customer opens door and instantly touches bare skin to metal - Customer wonders why he has any exposed skin at -40°F. Customer is still fine for 5-10 minutes before frostbite sets in.

So the Severity to the customer is high (sure, burns and frostbite are bad) - the rate of occurrence is SO LOW, its not worth spending any more time discussing.

Why is Levine refusing to deny that this will cause frostbite or burns ?
