Re: door stop thing

The door stop mechanism is part of the hinge and usually if it does not work the the friction pads are are worn out.

Re: door stop thing

there is a spring that goes from that macanism to the inside door skin that is a hold back of sorts

Re: door stop thing

I found upper left hinge, no spring, I guess I wiil make one up, just a lite spring looks to be about a inch and a half long to hold that mecanism out of the way of the window runner when opening and closing thanks

Re: door stop thing

My guess is that the spring has been added as the door hinges don't have springs on them.
