RE: Metal split around check strap / Door removal

Thanks for that. I'm going to replace the other three check straps once I have the passenger door fixed. As I said, the welded seam has split where the strap enters the body of the door, as the door opens the check strap levers the split seam further apart making a nasty cracking noise. The door will have to come off as I can't see any way of getting a welding torch into the gap to fix the split, I'll probably end up having the door re-painted as well.

I'll let you know how it goes.
