Default Door stopper functionality

OK - I should be able to figure this out but I have been unable - that's what you guys are for right?? The door stopper for the trunk, there's supposed to be some way to get this thing to lock in place so the door will not slam shut in the wind. There is not much info in the manual and I've jiggled mine around and it does not budge... what's the deal with this thing... how does it work??

You're talking about the rear door? There is a scissor hinge looking thing at the bottom of the door. Hold the door open and push the tab on the hinge away from you and the door will lock into place. When finished pull the hinge back into original position to remove locked position.

Doesn't it say how to use it right on it?

Yeah, it definitely comes in handy! Especially on hills, etc!

lol

Yeah, I wish there was more going on in here. I like to chit chat about different mods, etc etc....

I've already priced out some rims/tires...not sure when I'll get around to actually doing it tho. I guess there isn't much more to do, besides tint the front the windows.
