Steps
Remove the door panel
Release the window switch panel and unplug its connectors. Remove the panel screws and clips, lift the panel free, and disconnect the handle cable.
Remove the speaker
Remove the speaker fasteners, ease the speaker from the door, and unplug its wiring to reach the check strap inside the cavity.
Remove the old check strap
Support the door in an open position. Remove the door-side fasteners and the body-side bolt, then maneuver the check strap out through the access opening.
Install the replacement strap
Guide the replacement through the opening and align it with the door and body mounts. Start all fasteners by hand, then tighten them to the vehicle's specification.
Reinstall the speaker and panel
Reconnect and secure the speaker. Reconnect the handle cable and switch wiring, hang the panel, and press its clips into place before reinstalling screws.
Test door operation
Open and close the door through its range to check the strap holds securely. Confirm the latch, window switch, and speaker operate before finishing.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
