That would be useful, save the door resting on the raised jockey stand shaft of my trailer.

Soeley the brand 'Stabilus' which is the OE manufacture for the JIM, sell a gas strut called the 'Inter-stop' which is a two stage strut with a holding point midway. If you're interested, I've found a link to a 500mm Inter-stop Strut for sale that'll fit the JIM.

For more information on the Stabilus range (I'm still trying to find a locking jobbie) have a read here:

As a side note, I have just bought the wife a Ford Ecosport (side opening rear door) when you oper the rear door it only opens about a third of the way, give it another push and it opens all the way. I have got as far as measuring the strut and it is longer (can't remember the number now). I do intent to try it on the Jimny to see how it works out. I think a two stage opener will be quite useful at times.

Thanks for the info.
Just had a look at the first link. It would seem a bit to powerful for the Jimny though at 460N eject force.
I will have a further read of the second link later.
