My truck gets enjoyment in pinching the under side of my arms with its auto lock function since the day I got her. Please help, I need to find counseling and support groups to help me feel safer at night..

P.S. I love her so much still...

Same here, mine has actually drawn blood before. It really is a safety hazard.

take the nub off. really, when was the last time you needed it?
it just threads on
 
Ouch...I'm just trying to mentally visualize this happening, and I'm having trouble seeing how your arm is in a position to get pinched by it. Maybe just keep your arm away from that until the doors lock, or change your routine when you first get in to include locking your door before you start driving. It's been proven that a new habit can be formed in about two weeks for most people. So for two weeks keep a post-it in your truck to remind you to do that. It will quickly become as much of a habit as putting on your seat belt. Or just remove the nub, like already suggested.

Nice tune, but I found the graphic a little disturbing. I think I was married to her sister!

Happened to me once. A darn good welt resulted. Bad design.
 
I tried doing this today and I couldn’t even reach my arm back far enough. I’m probably shorter than you guys. Lol.
 
I was hesitant to post about this situation. But I, too, suffer from CRAP. (Chronic Ram Arm Pinch). It’s embarrassing, (my wife says pigeons would have learned not to rest there by now. ). It’s unsightly (I have little bruises on the inside of my left arm), and very dangerous; I smacked myself in the head so hard after the last time I did it today, I think I may have a concussion. I’m thinking of doing a design so it seems more methodical than just freaking stupid!
