Re: Rear barn door check strap
Can you posts a photo of the side that's not holding open?
On the door side there is a cylindrical metal piece which can degrade and leave the door not latching open.
On the body side the metal "hook" might also be a bit slack through wear and tear

Re: Rear barn door check strap
Swap the body side part over from left to right and vise versa, if the problem moves you know you know it's that part at fault.

I had the same issue years ago. With a flat screwdriver I bent the metal detent back to the original place, and it's holding it back as it should.
