They have a second joint, which is parallel to the main joint, above the window, which means that less space is required for opening. In the open state, the upper door parts opening the roof are vertical and the lower parts opening the car sides are horizontal. This allows upright standing next to the car under the open wing doors, with their lower parts not projecting upwards.
