New to the 968 so I'm unsure how this part should properly work. Most car doors open up and have initial resistance when the door is half open and then the door reaches the end of the door check. Call it two stages. My doors sort of fly all the way open very easily. There is that 1/2 open point but the resistance is hardly enough to stop it from swinging all the way open. I don't want to waste my money and buy new door checks if its just the way they are. On the other hand I don't want to put any more dents in my wife's XC90. Any thoughts?

Sounds like they are operating normally, by the way, those suckers break too...

As chudson mentioned, the passenger door is operating correctly...
My drivers side was behaving as he described so I replaced it which restored the 'full out holding' position & provided noticeably better mid-point resistance.
Of course, as I'm one of the AR types I'll be replacing the passenger side now so they match...lol
