Steps
Remove the rear door panel
Lift the window switch and unplug it, then remove the trim covers and panel screws. Release the panel clips, lift the panel off the door, and disconnect its handle cables.
Remove the speaker
Unplug the speaker and remove its mounting bolts. Set it aside carefully to reach the door-check fasteners inside the door cavity.
Remove the old door check
Remove the body-side bolt and the two fasteners securing the check to the door. Pull the check out through the speaker opening without snagging the wiring.
Install the replacement check
Feed the replacement through the speaker opening and align its studs with the door holes. Start the nuts and body bolt by hand, then tighten them securely to specification.
Reinstall the speaker and door trim
Reconnect the speaker wiring and secure the speaker. Reconnect the handle cables and switch, hang the panel on the window ledge, and press its clips into place.
Test the door
Reinstall the panel screws and trim pieces. Open and close the door to confirm the check strap holds the door in position and the window switch and latch work.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
