    Just about two weeks ago, did a securement check really quick on a wide on ramp jus before getting on the interstate. Cinched up a click or two on the winches popped the bar back in the headache rack cabinet. Stopped a couple hundred miles down the road, and saw I left the door open. Luckily nothing fell out. A chain had started snaking its way, but got it in time.

    I wonder if the European market trucks are the same way or if they're a uniquely North American feature lol!

    That's right. My 1998 and 2006 Jetta's did that. My GM cars as well.
