    Thanks for that info but, am I the only person who has all three HW Enzo's and does not have a problem with the doors staying open?

    LOL...you lucky ba****d, but from earlier post - members have written that they "all" had this problem..specially on the yellow ones(?!?!?!!)
    I've got 83 models (1/18) but I havent got those two other Enzo's yet (red and black)

    (W/O reading that post yet) It sounds like he over-tightened it.

    To revive this post from the dead-
    I purchased a 1:18 Hotwheels Enzo and, what do you know, the doors dont stay open. I tried this method, but no matter how hard I twist...I cannot seem to get those screws to tighten!!! Any ideas??

    I dunno, I wasn't about to try it on "old red" since that one guy broke his...

    I have the Red Enzo, the Yellow Enzo, the Black Enzo, and the Bling Enzo - of the 4 the Red one is the only one with doors that don't stay open...

    What I did was: I took out the little metal plates and bended them a very, very little bit with some tongs. Then replaced them. Problem solved.

    I remember posting something similar many months ago in a thread based on the HW Enzo, but this one has pics even! Nice explanation.

    What do you mean, which way did you bend them?
    Sounds like another reasonable approach though-Ill have to give it a try.

    I just received my Enzo today (Hot Wheels and its black), and the door seem normal to me, is this something that takes time to develop? I hope not....
