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

Yeah I’ve noticed the same thing. It opens a little, a little more and then a lot. I’m in Florida so the first notch seems to hold just fine.

I took some pictures of the door at the three stages.
