Default how can I limit the door to slam?

4DR

when my passengers leave, they almost always slam the doors.. maybe they think the door is too heavy and have to slam hard? ... or the door wouldn't close with such a gental push..?..

can I install rubber on the door?..

..or adjust the door springs to be less sensitive?


..

tell them to stop being fawkheads, scream at them a few times Worked for me, also keeps them from leaning against the car while you are parked somewhere. If you scream at them and they get mad then they are bitches that dont belong in your car anyways.

lol yup. i do the same thing. ill get out and get the door for them. irls i mean, but if there guys when they go to slam it i reach over and stop it from shuting all the way. then i grab it from inside and shut it........but the ladies do love it when you get their door.
back to the question, yea im sure you can do something like get thicker door seals, try JC hitney or MABYE a dealer

some rubber stoppers with adhesive maybe? you can trim it down to the desired height. something to this effect, maybe with some strong double sided tape, or, if you can find it, something like this that is made for this type of application:

remember, you want to rubber to be somewhat stiff. think stiff rubber, not rubber band.
