Its easy, you remove it from the inside of the door though so you have to remove the door card

Oh check this thread for information too, though he is fitting facelift parts to a pre-facelift vehicle so you would not have to do any cutting etc.

Door check straps, anyone changed them?

Did mine today, like for like old style straps.

Takes about 10 minutes per side and they cost £30 each from the dealers. The doors have a quality feel again now rather than a crunchy knackered feel

This door strap, could this be the reason that my doors wont stay open and constantly want to close?
