Loud pop opening driver's door too fast

I let my driver's door open a bit too fast after parking yesterday and I heard a very loud plastic-sounding pop when the door reached its stop position. Can't see any visible damage. All electrics, window and mirror still work ok and the door still opens, closes and locks fine. Anyone heard the same sound before and can tell me if/what I've broken? 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black

Check you havent popped the door stay out or snapped it, if that ok youi may have escaped serious damage. Thumbs Up There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Yep, as per nothernMJ , I got a loud popping noise on my door as it reached its maximum open extent and on checking , found it to be the star headed bolt that holds the door stay to the bodywork. I opened the door to its max, then moved it backward and forward slowly and could see the stay mount moving beneath the bolt. Tightened bolt up (obviously had worked loose slightly over the years) and cured problem. Steve

Checked door stop today and it seems fine. Star-headed bolt on door stop mount seems tight although I don't have a tool to tighten it (where do you get those?) and there's no movement when I move the door in and out. Maybe I've gotten away with it but I can't see what could have made such a loud pop... 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black

Ah , if it's not the door strap, I'm not sure , although you could check the outside lower part of the door (with the plastic panel on it) isn't catching the front lower wing section (plastic panel beneath the side grilles), as that may also create a plastic type noise. I got my socket set from a chain of shops called 'Clas Ohlson' (Swedish in origin) , don't know if you have them in Germany (can't find a website for 'de'). These are the ones I bought...

Lower panel seems ok, too, so I think all's well. Thanks for the link, picked up a set that will probs come in handy in the future. 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black

Fair enough. If I think of anything else I'll let you know, just have to hope it was a glitch that has cured itself. Steve
