A vehicle door system for limiting an opening angle. The system includes a track connected to the door, a clamp unit connected to and movable in relation to the track, and a blocking member connected to a vehicle body structure. The track extends through the blocking member. In a first state, the clamp unit is moveable in relation to the track and, in a second state, the clamp unit is prevented from moving in relation to the track. In the first state when the door is opened the clamp unit moves along the track. When the door, in the open position, is at a predetermined angle, the clamp unit is at a locked position in relation to the track preventing further opening of the vehicle door through interaction between the clamp unit and the blocking member.

A vehicle trunk door includes a door panel. A hinge is coupled to the door panel for rotating the door panel between a plurality of rotational positions. A motor is coupled to the hinge, wherein the motor applies a rotational force to the hinge, wherein the rotational force biases the door panel toward a closed position. When cargo is disposed within a trunk aperture, the door panel is biased against the cargo to at least partially secure the cargo within the trunk aperture.
