Have any of you ever modified the front door hinges to stop before opening all the way? I find that with narrow parking spaces, its hard for me to keep my front door from hitting the car parked next to me if I'm not really careful. Newer cars seem to have a part-way hinge stop that helps avoid putting a dent in the car parked next door. I can't remember if previous van's I've owned operated differently or if they all do this. Thoughts anyone? Madeline '87 Westie Milko III |
