Door Not Holding Open Properly

[jawrgy]

Hey, just wondering if anyone else's door mechanism does not hold it open. My problem is if the car is on a slight slant the door wont hold open. I need to hold it or it slams shut. Just wondering if its a common problem in v35's or its just me.

Its a common problem on coupe's with big heavy doors.. After a while the black thing near the hinge wears out under the weight of the door.. To fix it, im pretty sure the door needs to come off to replace the part.. Not a small job for a little result..

My M35 has it too, as above, over time the heavy door just wears it out.

Mind you, all the fibreglass and bog on my door won't help

Good thread!

My doors feel like someone's pushing back on 'em everytime I open em (gotta hold it open in one for 1-2 seconds before getting out of the car otherwise the thing just slams closed). Didn't know this was an inherent problem, thought it was just my car. Would greasing the hinges work? Or is that black rubber thing an essential part of fixing it? Would be great if you could get the parts Chris.
