Reason being that it has a longer flat section and earlier in the travel which lets the door stay open at smaller angles (when someone parks really close to you) with the 2022 version the door only stay open in the deeper groove sections (but will definitely stay there) so the door has to open a lot before it can stay open. Not sure if this makes sense.

So it still comes right back at your shins if you just open the door just slightly. I can't believe I'm writing a review for door checkers
The thing is that this has been a complaint since day one so your review is actually valuable to many.
Also why I felt remorse for not noticing it didn't do it with the new parts so I could pass it on two years ago.
