Remove the door panel
Pry off the handle and pull trim, remove the screws, and release the panel clips. Lift the panel away, then disconnect the lock wiring, window switch, and handle rod.
Remove the old door check
Remove the check strap fasteners at the door edge and inside the door. Pull the strap through the access opening and transfer its protective boot if serviceable.
Install the replacement check
Feed the replacement strap into the door and align it with the mounting holes. Install the inner nuts and door-edge screws, tightening them to specification.
Reinstall panel and test
Reconnect the handle rod and electrical plugs, align the panel, and press its clips into place. Reinstall all trim and verify the door opens, holds, and closes smoothly.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
