I *think* they just need the dummies for the doors moved to the backside of the door, but you *may* also need to rotate them/switch sides (like the car was facing the ither way). Do some testing, lemme know.

here is how it worked in vice,

copy your door dummy

name the new dummy whatever you want (I use dumass)

put the door dummy in the new dummy

 

new dummy

door dummy

door

rotate the axis of the new dummy to where you need it, I can't remember if the door dummy must be rotated, most likely should be, use copy axis I suppose

of course, move the door dummy to the proper location, as well as the new dummy.

now, the new dummy will be rendered in game, so select it's vertices and move it inside the engine or somewhere it won't be seen, make sure you are not moving the axis with it

I did not 'discover' this or think it up at all, someone posted how to do this last year, too lazy to search for post, to dumb to remember who it was
