Drivers Door

[RB32]

hey guys

over the past few months i have noticed my drivers door cracking every time i go to close the door once it was full open.

Its like once the door opens past a certain point it will crack when it gets closed.

its gotten worse now cause its starting to make cracking sounds when opening aswell.

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and what is the best way to tackle it

Cheers Adrian

I don't quite know what you mean.

Though I think you may be talking about your "check strap"

Search this on Google images to see what your looking, for if you don't know what it is.

When you know what it is check if the two bolts are done up tight and or if the pin is jumping round in the hinge when opening and closing the door.

Watch your passenger door to compare.

Ive checked all the bolts and they are all tight.

When i open and close the drivers door, that metal strap sort of thing like jumps off its seat which causing it to click/crack.

on the passenger side it all seems fine. the strap doesn't move at all.

Best to buy a new check strap.

Try wrecker first if you dont want to pay nissans price.
