Propping T@B 400 Door Open While Using Sunshade (Awning)

Tried a search, but answer to this is likely embedded in discussion with off-topic title. Have not yet set up Pahaque awning, but will soon. Clearly trailer door cannot be clicked into its holder. Can door be gently pushed into awning so it is held in place by pressure or do I need to devise a stop and hold rig before it encounters awning? If you have come up with a rig that works, what does it look like? Thank you!

I just use a bungee cord if needed to hold the door open.
I know there are several older discussions here where owners came up with more creative door retention devices. A search should bring them up.2015 T@B Max S (320)

We're use a bungee, too. Works well!

Me too, bungie through my door handle (Dutchmen), then through the front grab handle.
