Just wanted to say thanks to all previous posters.
I followed the instructions on the door check strap repair

And it was easy as pie. In and out in 40 minutes including fumbling with my custom speaker installation I had not had to remove yet.
Easy. Getting all my tools and cleaning up took longer than the removal/installation.
No more annoying "ker plunk" sound when I open the door.
