Are the door tensioners adjustable?

    I don't own any flat land. I'm always parked on a slope. Is there a way to stiffen up the probably worn out tensioners on my doors so they stay open on their own when parked on a slope? Between the front doors and the suicide doors one door or another is always swinging closed on me while I'm trying to load or unload things.

    No, but I can show you how to stand on you door and bend it in a little to get rid of that little air leak by your left ear. :bananadance:

    That air leak is interesting on mine. I only get it when I go over a bump......almost makes it worse.

    Try tightening every 10mm bolt on all your doors first. The keepers on mine were ‘improved slightly’ by tightening their respective bolts. You’ll be amazed at the other bolts on the hinges/etc. that improve the rigidity in the other areas. Take care to not over tighten the keepers. The hinge ones you can crank a little harder.
