Default Do your doors stay open?

Ok the xb is about a month old right now. I have noticed that whenever i park on an incline the front doors are reluctant to stay open on their own. I tried the back doors and they stay open. I know the xb doors are very light, are they designed to stay propped open? Its pretty annoying when trying to exit the car with items.

What do your doors do?

I note that my driver's side door has less of a "detent" than the passenger side door. Considering that the check assembly link is a thin piece of plastic, I don't know how much stronger the detents can be. There is no adjustment for this.

Removing the door check assembly requires removal of the door panel and the service access door, not a 5-minute job.
