@Mae, oops! Already handled!

thank you everyone! My hubby came up w/a 5" pvc length and a 45 degree  elbow at each end and a bungee keeping the door snug against it. Diameter is 1 1/4"  & not glued together. We put a bit of pool noodle over the top of the door.I will try to get a photo posted.

Be careful of the tent peg hack. It takes very little force on the door to  severely damage the door and or the door frame. A strong gust of wind or simply forgetting to remove the peg could  ruin your whole day.

I was just thinking a Bungy cord. Think the tent peg hack could cause major damage/strain.

I just tied a fixed loop in the forward guy line (that runs from the visor rim to the lower keder rail) and loop it over the inside door handle (with the door open) — It’s in a perfect place and gives enough nothing will break or bend.
