You know how the door only holds open when
you reach 3 points. I remember reading some place I don’t remember what car, they redesigned the door check so that it holds the door wherever you leave it or at more points.

The door check model number changes in the 2013, can anyone With later model years confirm if they ever changed how the door check works ?

thanks

No, my 2015 and 2017 only held the door in 3 positions.

sigh that’s disappointing, you’ve not heard of any cars that do this ? I wonder if we can retrofit lol

SW17LS

The S Class did, but they did away with it in I believe 2016. Rolls Royces and Bentleys do that.

I'm intrigued, what are you guys talking about?

SW17LS

So in the door hinge there are 3 detents where the door will stay open on its own. On higher end cars the hinge will hold the door at any position

Do all 460s have this? Is this like when your trying to open your door without hitting the next car or a wall? I try not to ever park that close to anything or anyone but sometimes it can't be helped, especially in garages.

I had a Toyota that had no door position detents at all. I had to be careful getting out of that car because that door came swinging out and nothing held it back.

SW17LS

They all have 3 detents.

SW17LS

Yep! Or a 14-15 S Class!

I’m poor and I don’t/can’t buy stuff on credit here in Ukraine so I’m liking the new flying spur that’s out this year, I’ll wait a few years when the value drops like a rock and that be my next lux sedan. I do want some kind of truck or suv, FJ cruiser or something, the new rav4 prime mpg is insanely tempting will cost next to nothing in a few years that’s when I’ll buy it lol. I’ve bought 2 new cars before and I’m done lol none of that anymore
