Subject:Re: question regarding door stops/door brakes or whatever they are called

Someone had a somewhat similar request a few weeks ago, for a mod that
would give the doors a detent midway out so they need a second push to
open fully. For the same reason -- to avoid having them swing into the car
right next to the van.

Anyone got any ideas?
