My driver's side door check doesn't work. So I'm always paranoid about a stiff wind pulling it out of my hand a denting the bodywork by folding it back against the front fender.
The check itself is fine, but the little bracket that the holds the arm with the pin through it is mangled beyond repair.
Somewhere along the line the door got pulled so hard it literally tore the pin out of the two small holes in that bracket. I know from long ago experience a semi running past you at speed, while you're on the side of the road with the door and side screen ajar, can do that.
I've found the checks available from TRF and Moss, but they don't come with the brackets that go on the A pillar and I can't even find a listing for that odd little part. It's not terribly complex and in a pinch, I can probably fabricate one is I need to.
Just wondered if the part has a name (door check bracket?) or if any of you know if they are available?
