RE: [DML] Doors won't pop up themselves - new struts, what's wrong?

Lube the hinges, clean any junk and leave out of the hinge/torsion bar
area, and use a bit of silicon based spray lube on your door seals.
These will help.

Subject: [DML] Doors won't pop up themselves - new struts, what's wrong?

 

I put new door struts on my car - top quality. The passenger side 
works ok (just ok not perfect). The driver door doesn't work well at 
all. You have to manually lift the door up. Once the doors are up they 
stay up just fine. But I've seen cars that you pull the door handle 
up and the entire door goes "woooooooooooooooooosh" and springs open 
the whole way by itself. I've already confirmed my cross bars are ok 
and not broker. Any ideas as to what's wrong?
