I fixed this this past Fall. My problem was no door stop. It would swing out and then try and swing back on your leg without stopping. As mentioned, there is a "finger" that sticks up from the bottom of the top hinge and then contacts the "roller" that stops the door. It is actually a pin that is hammered in from below. And believe it or not the dealer had them in stock. You will have to visually identify it's approximate dimensions from the existing pin on the other door (think half a small drinking straw shaped, but steel) so that you can find it on the dealer schematic. I think it was less than ten bucks. My problem was pounding it in place from below with the door in place. I used the flat part of a large standard screw driver and then pounded on it up into it's hole with a hammer. I couldn't generate enough pressure (I wished I had some sort of press -- c-clamps didn't work) to get it all the way in place, but it is far enough up to contact the "roller" and works just fine. It would be a lot easier with the door out.
