Hi everyone,
My 1980 633 CSi is looking and driving pretty well. Just a few small issues now.
The main usability issue I have is that the driver's door does not stay open. It closes pretty heavily "on you" unless held open.
Passenger door is fine.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone have any pointers to what I think is the "door stop" or "door check" mechanism (I've also heard it referred to as a "detente" which can hold the door open in two or more positions). There seems to be a piece of metal from the frame into the door that might need adjustment, reattachment, or replacement all together.
Would be grateful for any guidance,
Mike

Sounds like you need a new one of these.

Thank you for this! I'll see if I can remove the door panel and get a sense for what's going on.
I appreciate the pointer to the parts diagram and the part ("Door Brake"). $48 is reasonable is my sense, but there's also a chance it's just some missing bolt or something :). I will take a look and follow up! Thank you!

Plus 1 on Phil's assessment
You will need to yank the door card anyway, so have at it, easy peasy, ask me how I know
