Hello all,
The driver's side door makes a loud snapping sound as the door stay mechanism hops over those two little "bumps" in the door stay arm that make the door stop at the two positions. Yeesh...how do I describe this.... You know how you open the door and you can feel the two positions where the door stays open? Anyhow, I had bought a new door stay mechanism and reinforcement kit from our host, installed it thinking that something was wrong with the original stay. No dice. It still snaps. I remember reading about grinding down those two bumps in the door stay arm ...but I was looking at it closer this morning and it seems the pin that attaches the thing to the body of the car is actually loose. I inspected the passenger side (which has no issue), and rather than a pin, it has sort of a "split pin" kind of thing.
Anyhow, what is my car supposed to have? Should I locate a pin like the other side? Or maybe a larger drop-in type pin like the kit came with?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark.
