  • Door Stops on 7.5 MY 19 GTI

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to check in to see anyone else has this challenge. I'm finding the door stops on the car at very inconvenient positions from what i remember on our MK 6 golf. There are 2 stops when the door is opened, the first is way to close for me to comfortably get out (clearly i need exercise) and the second stop is at it's widest full opening. I sat in a friends audi and noticed he had 4 stop positions for the door swing.

    I've nearly door'ed a few cars at carparks and scrapped the hell out of the bottom of my own door on a kerb because i'm just not used to the lack of a more reasonable opening stop - and if on an incline it will swing all the way open.

    Merry Christmas and happy holidays to those celebrating.

    Same, and ours is the three door so I have to hold the door while getting out.

      When we bought ours , the salesperson made a point of showing us that between the two stops the doors will "stay"anywhere within reason. We like it. Hope you do too.
