Today I decided to swap out the checkstrap on the drivers side door.

Nothing went to plan.
1) The checkstrap didnt fit
2) I broke the plastic part that helps align the doorcard to the top of the door. Its superglued for the short term

However, I did have a supervisor.

Door card off

Back on - can just about make out the damage

Supervisor not impressed

What was up with your check strap?

My drivers door is incredibly creaky and white grease on the hinges didn’t solve it. So was thinking it may be that.

Seems an odd bit to be missing? Was it just flopping about in the hole then?

The replacement was missing these parts

Its the part that is at the top of where the doorcar meets the actual panel. Provides a weather seal/strip against the inner window. I think it might be 7701207589?

I have two new check straps to fit and a replacement piece for the top of the door card that I cracked .

I am on the lookout for a new bonnet as my is rough. The car isn’t perfect, but this lets it down.

I swapped my bonnet the other day too due to similar rust spots appearing.

The 172cup is now my daily workhorse.

One wheel off for straightening and some paint. Lost a little chunk at Anglesey!
