Door Panel Knee Pain!
OK, I tried to find someone who is experiencing the same issue, but was unable. I have a 08-JKU and have found that the storage compartment in the drivers side door panel hits my knee cap repeatedly upon exiting the vehicle. My wife has found the same "joy" of the new jeep.
Has anyone had the same issue and is there any replacement options outside my own fabrication? I would like to have the ability to put crap into a door-mounted location, perhaps a bunjy option like some of the center console mod's...
Are we the only ones who bang up our right knee upon exiting?

For the OP's problem, try opening the door all the way before trying to get out? I'm not sure how one could correct this problem otherwise, just be more careful I suppose.

Are you sick of those stupid plastic map pocket on you JK door panels? Do you get your feet caught on them when you are getting in and out of your Jeep? Check out this cool metal diamond plated conversion. They can be painted any color you want, or just leave them bare metal. they are $40.00 for the pair, or for and additional $10.00, you can have them powder coated. Respond to this email for more information.

I moved from an F-250 with a bench seat to the JK. Took a liitle while to get use to the size of the cockpit. Kept bumping knees, elbows, shoulders and occasionally the noggin until I got use to the layout.

Ditto, I'm 6'2" and cannot have the window all the way down becaue of the crank. I just move it up a little so that the crank is facing the front of the Jeep, and voila! Problem solved.
