The passenger side check strap on my 82 Spider bound up and bent and prevented the door from closing. I'm hoping there is a trick to repairing and replacing this item that I am missing.
I pulled the pin holding the check strap and then loosened the bolts holding the assembly and pushed the bound up parts inside the door. I dissasembled the inside door door panel and found that I can just barely reach the assembly from the inside of the door but there does not appear to a way of getting it out. Do I need to remove the window and the power window regulator to make room?
I also saw some previous threads complaining about the quality of the replacement straps. Has anyone had good luck with a particular supplier. I do see that IAP has these in stock.
Thanks
