300td Door limit strap and attachment
 
The bracket/mechanism that the door limit strap attaches to, at the door, is busted. You can see that it is visably loose.

I imagine that I'll need to pop off interior door cover to get at the thing.

Any one have any experience replacing or fixing one of these things? I'll be looking for parts today...

let me know.

Take off the door panel, remove the two 10mm bolts, remove the c-clip on the pin , remove the pin, slide out the broken check strap assembly and reverse to install.

Easy 10 minute job. It takes marginally longer on the 240D because we have to remove the window crank handle, so add a flatblade screwdriver to the tool list if you have manual windows.

Great thanks! I was hoping that it was all one piece and easily replaced.

I'll start looking for the part today....what is the exact name of the part "check strap"?

It is called the "door check"

Anyone have a solution for a popped strap mount on the frame? Someone had attempted to weld it but the weld has broken. Makes an annoying pop pop sound.

if you do a search, you might find something on this, cause I remember reading about somebody who did repair theirs... no idea how long ago, or what the thread was originally about. they welded in a plate, or screwed in a plate, and attached the pin sockets to that... good luck.

I put a plate behind the frame after tracing out a template for the strap hole, JB welded it to the inside (to hold in place) then used aircraft blind rivets with a pneumatic rivet gun to secure - so far so good.

This is how I fixed it - hope it helps

Ah cool so there is a whole plate behind. Self tapping sheet metal screws should do the trick right?
