door doesnt stay open!

searched and failed.

03 evo, even on lever ground, the door doesnt stay open when its partially open, closes on my legs. is this typical of evo's or is the part that holds it partially open replaceable? thanks!

Just replace the door stays, they are worn out.

Check one of the rear doors. If it does the same thing you are asking for magic. Otherwise, do as above.
