Great video. When I tried to change mine, but I couldnt work out how the old strap came off, so in the end left the original ones. I thought mine were broken because of the snapping noise but I know better😆
Good Video John. One important thing to mention is, while that check strap is removed, is not to open the door very wide or you will put a nice crease in your door skin….if someone is doing this repair outside in the driveway and the wind catches it for example. I’m sure you’ve seen a few TR6’s with that telltale crease….
Thanks for doing this John. Easier than I thought it would be. I am surprised that that bang is considered normal, on my other cars a bang like this is usually a sign of a broken check strap rather than a working check strap. I might as suggested try grease on mine to help ease the noise
Thanks for this. I have a new check strap in the garage waiting to be installed but now I’m thinking that the A-pillar part of the mechanism might be my problem…
Well have a look before you pull things apart but I hope the video helped and like cheftush said once the strap is off don't allot the door to open too far or you will chip paint. Put a tub or something in the way to stop the door from opening too far.
