Easy fix for weak door stops

My driver door stop, which we call hoedeedoes in Texas, was very weak. The door would only stay open on level ground. Otherwise, the door would close on us. Annoying.

Here's a quick fix to make it better. Get a piece of thick rubber, such as conveyor belt rubber, and cut a fat square inch. Look at the pics below to see how to insert it under the old, weak hoedeedoe spring metal.



Cut a square of rubber, and force it in behind that weak old hoedeedoe spring
