I have an '84 300TD. The drivers door had wat sounded like a door check problem. A loud snap/click twice as the door opens and closes. (Pardon if my spelling or typing gets too bad. I am recovering from a stroke.) On closer examination the noise was coming from the peice connected to the door check. There is a peice on the door jam, connected to the door check that is loose and snapps very loudly as the door check is operated. Is this just the door check needing to be replaced or what do I do with this.

Examination of the leg area show no readily eccessible entry way for doing any work int the inside of the door post.
