C5 X7 Door opening

Unread post by Tommass4 »

Hello dears,
So I have an issue with my Citroen c5 doors (both front)
When you open it it swings very easily with very little resistance and bounces back without any hard stop when fully opened. I suspect a faulty door hinges(surprise seen few same issues while researching for second hand C5).
I believe it’s a common issue and wonder if anyone came across any fix? Or the only one is hinges replacement?
Thank you in advance!

Replacement is the only option - these are a cartridge type and the internal coiled parts snap.
