Door won't stay open
It took tony's corvette shop in gaithersburg MD almost 9 months to basically replace my L98 heads and 700R4 and in the process, they broke a bunch of other stuff.
This irritates me to no end. My driver door won't stay open anymore and will swing back on my leg every time I open it. I have to hold it open with my left hand just to get out.
My passenger door behaves normally and will stay open to allow a comfortable exit.
What did they do to the door? They weren't supposed to mess with the door in any way. Is there something I can do to get it to behave like it did for 23 years before they screwed it up?
Not going back there any more no matter what.

Thanks for the answers.
My car's door was perfect until I got the car back from the shop. I'm absolutely certain they are responsible for anything that develops while they have the car.
They could have at least fixed it and charged me as opposed to just ignoring it...
How is this spring replaced? Does the door have to come off or can it be "cajoled" into place?
