I’m sure it’s been done before but I couldn’t find a recent post
Just fitted the little widget to the door rail, to pause the PVC door part way open
Found a nylon widget and avoided the printed versions
Used Areldite 2 part epoxy, left it over night as the temperatures right now are not great for curing
Works nicely

We use a tennis ball jammed into the track, it can then be opened as much or as little as we want it………and will be handy if we ever get a dog :giggler: :giggler:

Handy to have an extra door stop - for anyone considering this another option in stainless steel here https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...r-van-sliding-door-with-discount-code.186618/ Think that the Stopsy was the German original & now there are various similar versions in aluminium, 3D printed plastic & nylon.
Would be careful with some of the DIY options if parked on a slope - when trying a tennis ball it popped out, the door rolled to close at some speed & I only just got my arm out in time - not good!

We’ve got levellers so we don’t park on a slope.

The time to worry is if you see a French lady with her knitting.
