Guest AlvinL Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Another possiblity... There's a roller just inside that runs along the strap as it goes in/out as you open/close the door. Check to see if it's siezed and causing that popping sound whenever it passes over the detent/bump that holds the door open halfway. I've seen this problem occuring in other cars that uses this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 done...works like a charm...some notes/commentsfirst off, that repair needs to be pinned or even better hosted on the VS site...its that important IMOsecond, def use the magnet there's alot of debristhird, use the tape on the finger, another mustfourth, you will be stumped on how to hold the nut but never fear...Take an old wrench appropriate for your nut on the back side and cut it down nice and smallTape it to your finger and manuver your finger wrench over the nutThis is pretty much the only way to hold it tight enough to really get some torque on there w/o the nut spinningPICS Here you can see the repair of 2 bolts...to the left you can see the SMALL hole you have to work with to get to the back side of the boltshere you can see my wrench finger....

MrWinkey Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I agree that is a very good link and a very good fix so it seems...I usually weld em' back up...that should be pinned in the R/M section ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Heh, didn't realize this thread was current when I found it in the search. Guess it pays too look at date. Anyway, that looks like a great money saving fix. From the look of the break in the weld I have though I don't think it will work.You can see that the weld at the back is broken, not the spot welds. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socal Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Here's a higher resolution pic.It looks to me like using 2 bolts to hold it won't work. I'm wondering if anyone knows how much it runs to get something like this fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
