A Wheely Great Day
A Wheely Great Day
A Wheely Great Day!
After doing some work around the house, I figured I would see what I could do with the car for a little while.
Since I had the new steering wheel all assembled and ready to go, it was a simple matter of installing it.
With that done, I decided I would take the door card off of the front passenger door and install the new door check strap I have for it. Looks like the moisture barrier hasn’t been installed in this door for a long, long time.
Looking at the inside of the door card pretty much confirms it.
I have some Masonite that I’ll cut out and replace this with at some point in the future. The old material is really a mess from being exposed to moisture. Another job for another day.
Old door check that has missing “cups” on the strap pins. I had lubed it up a while back to make it functional. The new door check strap next to it, awaiting a good greasing.
New door check strap installed, door is now opening and stopping where it should with the detents. Very firm and positive positioning with the new check strap.
Door card back in place, waiting for another day to have the panel material replaced, new moisture barrier installed and the wood trim refinished.
