I have no idea how the internals of DMCH's year old door struts work but, if like many struts, there is an internal "brake" that slows the door near the top of the ascent. If the strut is leaking internally the "brake" can be the first to go and would be noticeable most when cold. Have you asked DMCH about it?

The door shoots open and I have to pad it's ascent to prevent it from bouncing hard.
