I have never popped a door in the sprinter...almost have but never did
Got to ask yourself would you open door into traffic without looking first? Then why open your door with the wind without checking?
I think the problem is that there is no inside door handle to grip, just a place to put your fingers in to pull closed.

And the location of that hand hold is forward of center, closer to the hinges, which doesn't provide enough leverage to hold on securely to such a large door.

I had been more concerned about losing the back door to wind when opening it from the inside. The only thing to hold on to is the lock stem. I put a handle on the door. I might have to do something similar to the driver's door.
