Rear Door Checkstrap bit creaky

Noticing that the offside rear door checkstrap on the estate is a bit 'clicky' and has a little notch on mid close where it's quite stiff
Is this a known character on D9's ? - dismantle, regrease etc
Or a case of replacing the strap ?
Thx
Jay

The estate did this a while back, I dismantled and repacked the strap with grease and it's been fine since.
Try and regularly re-grease it by just squirting some onto the strap when the door's open, seems to have sorted it

+1 on that Jay,
Both my rear ones were like that when I first bought it last year

. Lack of use & maintenance I guess, the main stealers being to lazy to spray a bit of grease

Like Jon said pack with grease & work it in, I used a spray grease just to get it worked in with out having to strip down

& repeat every 6 months or so
