Rear Door Gas strut
Is it possible to DIY a rear door gas strut. Getting tired of the door closing on me the whole time.
Has anyone done this before?

It's also worth pulling the door card off and checking these nuts are tight on the door holding mechanisim:

This helps keep the door in the fully open position, (you should feel the door "click").

I bought a gas type door opener from ‘Mulgo Experdition’ in Sydney (Australia).
You can buy them from him online but I’m sure I’ve seen other mobs selling them online in Europe (Closer to home for you).
Just quietly it works a treat and it’s a doddle to fit.
