My front door is nice and tight. When I open it, it stays open. Although my rear driver's door when I open it, will swing closed occasionally. Does anyone know where the adjustment is located to tighten the door?

If you have an early build W222, the first few model years had door hinges that were meant to stay put at the angle to which they were opened. Apparently this design did not work well and now the only option is to replace the door hinges. The new hinges provide a typical two-detent style of operation (somewhat open and fully open.) No way to tighten what you have from what I understand.

Thanks for the info.
How can I tell if mine is an early build? Do you have a picture of the door hinge so I can compare?

Looks like the early chassis is up to May 22, 2015. After that the new hinges were used. You can check your driver's door pillar for manufacture date.

Yep that's me, January 2015.
By any chance do you know the part numbers for the updated hinges front and rear?

dlafever

Thank you

Do you know if it's the upper or lower hinge that controls how the door stays open at different intervals?

dlafever

So, no I don't. But it could be that both hinges work together to provide this function OR that only one does. Looking at some photos of the left front door hinges, it appears that the lower hinge has the magic hold thingy on it.
