Worked for a car manufacturer doing statistical analysis on gap & flushness all over the exterior… And the door gaps are a bitch to get right. Probably the most difficult ones over the whole car. All the manufacturers struggle with this to a degree. This is also the one place where part quality is probably most critical.

The other gaps are usually handled by designing the angles in a beneficial way etc. When they show up in a bigger way it’s almost always bad design.

I did not know that. Very interesting, thanks. Not so fun fact: Switzerland, although German speaking, does not use the comma. Also their keyboard Layout is all over the place with German French and Italian influences.

German: I hate that we use comma as a decimal separator. Makes working with international documents a hassle, my numpad on pc makes a comma so I cannot even type a date…we like to complain about us imperial units as much as anyone but our comma is almost as stupid!

Out of the loop here can you give me tldr on this?
