This is a nightmare to assemble.  I am mechanically inclined have put together many toys and furniture. I have never had the difficulty I had with this. The video is not really any help either and when you call Little Tikes about the roof pillars, all they say is to use a sweeping motion- not helpful at all.  The roof pillare are the worst and I finally did those after holding them in boiling water to soften.  The latch on the door is not very sturdy and could be a lot better. For such a popular product, it should be alot better quality and much easier to assemble. However, all that being said, my daughter does love this car.   Just pay the toy store to assemble- they charge [$] and it would have been worth many time that!
