Abstract
A vehicle door opening mechanism includes a biasing structure operatively coupled to a vehicle door, the biasing structure movable between a first position and a second position, a portion of the biasing structure engageable with a vehicle body surface to bias the vehicle door from a closed position to a partially open position. Also included is a retaining structure disposed proximate the portion of the biasing structure that is engageable with the vehicle body surface, the retraining structure retaining the vehicle door in the partially open position to prevent the vehicle door from moving toward a fully open position.
