Description of the problem	On june 8 2015 i attended a meeting. When the meeting ended at 8 pm, it was raining hard. I hurried to the car, opened the driver? S door with my left hand and smacked the corner of the door into my left eyebrow. The bleeding was substantial, dripping large drops onto the ground and onto my dress. A stranger stopped, advising me to keep continual pressure on the wound until it stopped bleeding. Eventually it did so and i drove home one-handed with the other keeping pressure on my forehead. Since the bleeding had ended, a pressure bandage kept it stopped for the night. The black eye has faded. There is no permanent damage except for a 5/8" scar across my eyebrow and a ruined dress. Inspecting the door the next morning, i realized the corner of the door comes to an acute angle. The door itself is weatherstripped and has a rubber gasket. But the exposed metal corner of the door has no protection. It is totally exposed! I have the misfortune of being a 5? 8? Female whose eye height meets the corner of the door. I also have the misfortune of being left-handed so i open the door with my primary hand. (opening a driver? S door with the right hand offers some protection because of the location of the arm.) subsequent to this event, i wrote subaru corporate as well as the local dealer. Their reply thanked me for suggesting a design concept (i think that was the phrase). A 'goody box' from subaru arrived shortly thereafter.
