Dan,
I think most of us LNC2 owners are resigned to the fact that the nose gear
pushing the door open to get out is an inherent characteristic of the
design.  Whenever I go to a fly-in where LNC2's are present, I look at the
top of the gear doors.  I have probably seen about 100.  I have only seen
one that didn't have an arc scratched on top of the gear door.  This was a
freshly painted job.  Maybe he flew in with the gear down.
One thing that can contribute to this problem is if you drop your gear at
too high an airspeed.  I usually slow to 120 MPH or less before dropping the
gear.
