OK, I tried to find someone who is experiencing the same issue, but was unable. I have a 08-JKU and have found that the storage compartment in the drivers side door panel hits my knee cap repeatedly upon exiting the vehicle. My wife has found the same "joy" of the new jeep.

Has anyone had the same issue and is there any replacement options outside my own fabrication? I would like to have the ability to put crap into a door-mounted location, perhaps a bunjy option like some of the center console mod's...

Are we the only ones who bang up our right knee upon exiting?

Ditto, I'm 6'2" and cannot have the window all the way down becaue of the crank. I just move it up a little so that the crank is facing the front of the Jeep, and voila! Problem solved.

For the OP's problem, try opening the door all the way before trying to get out? I'm not sure how one could correct this problem otherwise, just be more careful I suppose.

 

Try this one in the colorado springs craigslist. Don't know if it's a company or just a local sale.

I had the same thing happening to me, I now just push the seat all the way back when getting out.

 

I moved from an F-250 with a bench seat to the JK. Took a liitle while to get use to the size of the cockpit. Kept bumping knees, elbows, shoulders and occasionally the noggin until I got use to the layout.

 

I use it as a foot rest.....

 

I had the same issue ... so I unscrewed and rotated the window crank about 50 degrees and now its out of my way full up or full down.

 

Lol, I have no knee trouble but I did jump in once and hit my head on the roll bar and damn near knocked myself out. Couldn't drive for a few minutes.

 

Ha. I thought I was the only one experiencing this, until I read this post. I'm 6'2", mostly legs, and I repeatedly bang my knee getting out of the Jeep...right under the knee cap, where it just about cripples you. It mostly happens when I'm parked next to someone else in a lot and can't open the door all the way. Guess I've chalked it up as another one of those Jeep things. Getting tired of limping into stores though.

 

Bout 6'4" here and don't think I have ever banged my knee while exiting but did smack my head on the rollbar A couple times during the first few days of owning the jeep
