Okay I know I am being anal about this, but there is a tensioner plate on the lower door hinge that presses against a roller wheel. This is used to keep the door open when you open it. Most that I see seem to have the re-curved metal tab on the hinge broken. I was trying to bend the existing remains of the tab and it came off the hinge. It doesn’t seem to be permanently attached to the lower hinge. Do they make a replacement part for this? I am sick and tired of the door swinging back closed and catching my shin in the door jam.
Thanks.

Have you talked to Lou at LMM?

I have the same problem on my drivers doors. It should be replaceable. Mine snapped off completly.

Now's a good time to replace the door pins if you doors are loose too!
