Default That 1/2 way door stop

I sure wish ford would do away with that thing in their doors that catch the door in the 1/2 open location. I can't tell you how many times I caught my door from running into a post at a gas pump because of that stupid system. The door should stop wherever you want it to stop, not some cam thing in the door that swings it to a preset position. I wonder how many door dings are the direct cause of this system?
What is/was the perpous of this system,

Why should we have to get used to that. It's a dumb system.

I have to agree with you, but on the other hand without em, any little thing could make it swing wide open or slam shut. My jeep doors were free swinging and it got more annoying than doors with stops.

No, No , No
No free swinging, I said stop wherever we wanted it to stop. That would mean a hing that is kinda hard to open or close. Key word would be stop where we wanted it to. (Ok words)

I can live with that much easier than the fact that whenever I open my door, the glass goes down an eigth of an inch or so and flings rain or morning mist onto the seat...oh well, small price to pay for haulin' a$$...

GM vehicles have a few stops. The door hinges are notched a few times.
