Hi all,
Any hints how to get the door on my Puma 90 to stay open would be appreciated.

Seriously, a search on here brings up several older threads with the solution.

I love that accessory Eric

Joking aside though, I’m wondering whether anyone has fitted a gas strut along the lines of the type available for the rear door?

I pondered the use of a gas strut but then realised it’d be total pain, the door trying to spring fully open in tight spaces. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Thanks Eric,
Ironically all the accessories you kindly supplied information about I already have but seem to be a generic brand

Do you mean the rear door or the left hand front door?

Left hand front, good news though once I disseminated the smart arse suggestions( bad Eric) I also found the links ( good Eric) posted. Tightened up the 8mm bolt, fixed. 'Peace of
