Door Hinge Advice

My drivers door is not stopping on the half open point. I have to keep hold of it when parking next to other cars otherwise it will hit one.
Is there an easy fix or a VW job.

Thanks

It’s the poor design of the door check. Some people here (myself included) replace them with Jetta door checks, which behave as one would expect. The golf’s does away with a normal detent at the halfway open position. Lord knows why...

Thanks for that, I’m not to sure of what to look! I googled VW door stops, I got pack of 4 but they where in the States on Amazon nothing in the UK. Still unsure of what they look like from Jetta.
Appreciate your help though.
