One idea that Adrian came up with for this model, which worked really
great, especially because there are two doors on each side, was a
half-stud rearward offset for the rear doors. This leaves a half stud
gap between the rear edge of the door and the body, allowing the door to
be opened very easily, and clearly marking the location of the doors.

Heh...some models definitely require some patience to get things working
right. But sometimes just forgetting about working features is fine
too...My Mercury has no moving parts, yet many people think it's my best
car.
