    Actually it's not just you...even McLaren say they are a PITA:

    Excerpt:

    These doors prove to be an engineering challenge; in order to function correctly the door must be both rigid and durable, seal perfectly and fit the rest of the vehicle body highly accurately. Through the use of advanced composite materials the design is optimised using finite element simulation together with computational dimensional management tools that enable production tolerances to be precisely specified.

    If a Formula 1 team find them difficult to build, I think a bunch of hachet-faced grease monkeys in your local Stiffy-Lube aren't gonna get it.
