Ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls, and those who identify as something else:

Doorstops are back in stock.

I ordered one back at the end of August and just got notification of shipping.

My shins will be so happy.

Care to elaborate on what these are?

They're also called door-checks.

They are the metal-and-plastic pieces that are supposed hold the door at specific stop positions and keep it from slamming shut

Have you ever worked on the interior of your car with 1 or both legs outside of the car and suddenly find the door slams your leg(s) with the force of a freight train for no apparent reason???

The later model door checks (stops) are more effective at saving shins than the early ones.

Link? My 2018 doors still kill shins

Mine don't have an issue and it's a 2012 build year, but I also work in my garage and it's pretty flat. I understand this concept though, my 3000gt didn't have door thingies (I bought it with Lambo doors, swapped them out for plain hinges) and it was annoying as fuck.)
I just actually didn't know what this was

My drivers door has trouble staying open. Is this a door-panel-off job? Or a door off job?

JD001 · 10-18-2022, 03:13 PM

Sounds like an open and shut case...

If I remember correctly, from when I looked Earlier this year, you just have to take the door panel off. You could pull the engine and take the axles out but that would be a lot of extra work.

There's a thread somewhere about how to shim them. I assume new ones weren't available then. I'm glad to read that the new ones hold better. It's a flaming pain to have the doors keep hitting me. That's the thing I most dislike about the car. I just ordered a new one. Don't need passenger side. I've been putting off the job out of fear of that sticky black stuff, but I understand you can get to the inside part by just removing the speaker.

Not 33.11 now. I was quoted $45 and change.

This job is stupid simple. I didn't even unplug any of the switches. It takes less than 30 minutes.
