ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door hold open mechanism of the friction type may be assembled to the vehicle prior to the vehicle being subjected to an electrostatic priming process without coating the critical metal surfaces with primer. An arm member secured to the door includes non-conductive frictional material molded in a two sided arc. A pair of metal blocks engagable with the frictional material to create a frictional force are insulated from the vehicle body by elastomer blocks. When the door is opened, the frictional material slides between the metal blocks, compressing them to create a frictional hold open force. Neither the metal blocks, nor the frictional material, will receive a coating of primer during the priming process, as they will be insulated from the electrostatic charge received by the vehicle door and body.
