Keeping Outback doors open

Post by ryangus » Sun Mar 16, 2014 9:45 pm

Anyone know how to fix my 2000 Outback doors - they won't stay open. Even on flat ground, they seem to slowly close themselves.

My front doors do the same. I think it might be a worn spring???

Replace the door check strap. They are available new. I'm PM FROG (Andy) for price and availability.
