Changed my door struts but..!
I just changed my Murcielago door struts and I've noticed that my passenger door seems a bit heavier than my driver door? Plus my driver door goes all the way up with just a little push, but my passenger door doesn't? I have to lift it up with my hands in order to fully open it.
Wondering if anyone had this before? Let me know please! Thx!

You may need to adjust the positioning of the strut on the passenger side. Did the struts come with shims??...may need to use some.

In October we were traveling with our friends and their 2009 Murci. In the middle of the trip his driver door stopped working (wouldn't go up).
A Lambo tech advisor suggested manually pulling the door up and down several times. Apparently if they aren't used much - the fluid can settle to the bottom of the hydraulic piston and it may "seize". By manually opening and closing several times he was able to re-distribute the fluid and the door worked like new. He drives his car very rarely (usually once a year for GIRO and maybe one car show per summer...MAYBE (he hates car shows and all the attention). Usually the car sits covered in his garage. We had assumed a part failed and it would need replacing. Talk about an easy, cheap fix! Your issue may be different - but it's worth giving it a try. Good luck.

Maybe they sent you a bum strut? Can you swap the driver for the passenger? To see if the same happens?

Excellent idea..Thought of it but it takes a long time to do it - I called a friend of mine who changed them too recently and he got the same issue as mine.. His passenger door also doesn't go up by itself.. I'm kinda confused here..
