Minor 1000 door check not holding

Post by AdrianH »

Save me searching 107 pages (got to 20 then eyes gave up! - search engine could not find anything) The doors will not stay open on the check bars - interiors seem to be very loose

Are they supposed to keep the doors open?
Or just a rubber buffer to stop them opening too far.

Bill has summed their purpose up well. They do not hold the door open but just stop it opening too far :wink:

The door check straps are fitted just to stop/check the door from opening too far.
That is why they are called 'check straps'.
They are not designed to keep the door open.
