rear doors wont stay open..

Post by jbh325i »

tried a search on this and never found any info. my rear doors wont stay open they constantly want to close over which isn't handy when your trying to get a 2 year old into his seat. any ideas on this? is the door stays changeable ie go to the breakers and hope i can find some which have a bit of life in them or is there a way of servicing the existing ones ?

There was a post a few weeks back with a link to a guy on ebay selling new check straps; I think it was Eoin27 who posted the link.

cheers for that. tried a search on check straps and got further on..
just couldnt think of that one when i was doing a search :oops:

got the link to the new ones on ebay but also might try and strip it out and grease it as theres been mixed results with that but worth a bash before i go spending £40
