The bigger problem I expect is ice-buildup. A horizontal plane such as the roof will gather ice, especially when temperatures hover around freezing and/or when car is heated and the heat melts snow on top which then freezes between the car and the upper snow on the roof.
Yes, that might be a real concern in some cases. A conventional door can get real stuck with just a litte bit of ice along the seam. So unless there are some heating elements or non-stick coating it might be troublesome. On the other hand the double hinge arrangement might act as a strong lever to break away ice.
We'll just have to wait and see...
