    Literally not even a novel design and in my opinion, not patentable.

    Didn’t Audi edit: try some similarly outrageous stunt about 25 years ago? Something like no user access to the engine compartment at all? As in go to the dealer to have them remove the front of your car and refill your washer fluid. I remember that went over like a limestone cloud and I don’t think they pulled the trigger on that design. Car people, where are you?

      You’re probably thinking of the A2 service hatch. It’s nothing like that.
