Welding joint on door side is weak and not strong enough to absorb the side impact when accident..

I know many people when go to proton's showroom use this technique ketuk2, slam door and boot a few times already can appoint themselves as QC inspector. But never do this when go to T&H showroom.

lol, the doors are not meant to absorb any impact, it's meant to distribute the force of impact to the surrounding chassis so that the chassis can absorb the impact. i don't think u've ever heard of crumple zones also.

Then you are working for Proton?

dear TS, i have not seen the car, but if you say so i will take not on this, But could you show a clearer picture what you mean by welding Joints.

i noob in metal industry. anyway to find out is to buy one car and crash test it side ways, head on and so on.

I'm a Malaysian. You must a singaporean. kiasu. lol.

What ever you say lah....

I just want to share what I have found out for this high quality
global car only...

thanks for the sharing, maybe could show us more supportive material?

i think u know nuts about car.....

look at the picture....
the green bar inside the door is used to absorb the impact during accident...
not the JOINT ya...

Please double click to enlarge the Gen2 picture on my first page to
understand the location of the door welding point on Preve.

My point is very simple:
If you have a choice, do you prefer to have a welding joint or no welding
joint on a "drive it to believe it" global car..?

i bet he must be trying so fukken hard searching every inch of the car...

You'd better go to Proton Show room to see it yourself.

My wira welding joint's workman ship is even better than Preve,

At least my wira's welding joint is welded completely and no
hole; but for Preve, the welding joint is not welded completely
and you can see the hole...very scary quality...

This means my wira is welded 100% and cover the hole (joint) completely;
for Preve, it is only welded 50%, so you can see the hole...

LOL at u ts..

You wanna talk facts? Sure.

Firstly, in a side impact that is strong enough to break your door, it is the chassis that is suppose to protect the passengers, not the door.

Secondly, the doors reinforcements are inside the door. Lets say you are right and the window sills are welded to the door instead of being the same piece. And a motorcycle rams into your door, the thing that will protect you is the frame inside the door, not the window sill. If you think about it, the places where the door are connected to the chassis is below the windows sills (on the body of the door), because the window sill cannot be load-bearing,and is in fact the weakest part of the door.

Number three, you havent show us the weld.

Pls try harder next time.

i laugh at this statement...as if the NCAP test wasnt enough...bro..dont make urself look stupid asking people not to buy preve just bcoz of ur 2cent statement

TS is pro ok? all the people whom are using UTR and roll cage should stop using. Even chassis weld should be forbid. Welding is the weakest link says TS.

I am not going to buy Prevé but a Persona or a Wira because it is better and safety, and it is not a global car.

Ok.

guys, TS is only pointing out what he saw on the car, although there are some bashing, but all in all we should thank TS and go see it ourselves. there are no point arguing it here. so MOD PLS CLOSE THIS THREAD

There are only very few people will notice on this thing....
when they open the door, they will look to the interior only...

The next issue is front and rear reinforcement bars...which
almost nobody will pay attention to this...

Added on April 15, 2012, 2:01 amThis is not what you so called "bashing".

I just pointed it out that nobody will notice this welding joint issue.
And this is the fact happens on Preve as so called "global car".

Please go to Proton show room to check it out yourself.
