doors legality of removing them for highway driving

Post by joe72777 »

Ran into a problem with my doors. Got in a hurry and did not set the e- brake. My daughter got in and bumped the shifter sending my rocky rolling down the driveway and it hit a power pole making the door inopperable. Now the door will only close to the point where it would be fully open. IN order to be able to drive to and from work now i had to remove the doors. Just not sure if it is legal on these in the USA. I know Jeeps and Zooks can not sure on USA Rockys. any answers would be helpful. Thank you.

You can't use a crow bar (pry bar) to lever out the panels so the door can swing?

Seeing as your stateside, might be best to check with your local authorites. (going by your profile location anyway - Iowa?)

Yes, that would be a good idea.

But having seen some of the mods over there they will probably encourage you to take off all the doors, the roof, the roll bar and the bonnet....... And then ask why you're wasting their time with such a trivial thing! :lol:

The reason I am asking on this forum is that most cops over here do not know what a Dahatsu is they just have never seen one. Thanks for the help.

So plug the bolt holes up with blu-tac that matches the color of your car and tell em that the daihatsu's came out without doors if you get pulled up :D
