Default Skin pinch from door locks?

Has anyone been surprised by a painful pinch when accidentally pushing down on the door locks while begining to hang your arm on the door /out the window ? LOL

That was why I opted for an 02, they don't pinch.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Have NEVER had this happen, even when my '00 had the knurled lock pins. My '03 has cross-hatched aluminum pins, and the '00 has smooth ones... still, never have had an issue with it.
