Has anyone on experienced a popping sound or clunk when opening either of the front doors on a 1997 E-420? When opening either door to the first "detent" position, this sound occurs.
When I had my '83 SEC, I when through this and learned about the "check strap" which is used to as a stop for the door opening. I wound up having it plug welded from the facing/out side and touch-up painted to match. That was then, this is now....
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has been down this repair path before. Any ideas, suggestions, thoughts about what causes this and/or how to repair will be appreciated.
Do the rear doors suffer from this ailment eventually?
Thanks in advance..................Hez (Love that V-8 power)
