| On february 14, 2009 i incurred a scalp laceration that required 6 staple sutures when i hit my head with the rear hatchback door of my 2008 hyundai santa fe suv. i later learned from other motorists that this has happened to them in their suv's. i would suggest a visible warning sticker be placed somewhere near the pull strap warning motorists when they lower their hatchback doors. *tr | |||
