Body Trim: Doors

The E65 doors are made of steel and open to an angle of 70°. The E65 does not have a door stop. A hydraulic damper is used instead. The door damper makes it possible to stop the door in any open position within 70°.

The hydraulic damper is bolted in place and can be replaced if necessary.

There are no rubbing strips on the outside of the doors and the chrome strip in the window frame is snap on. The black moulding at the edge of the window at the B-pillar is held in place by threaded fastners. Once the window seal is removed, the fastners are accessible.

The outside door handles contain two optical fibers that illuminate the handles and the area in the vicinity of the door.
