I replaced the door check strap in one of my rear door because it was making the usual noise when opening or closing the door. That was about 8 months ago. Well I had to do it again today because it was rusted. They did not have the plastic covers. This time I got the door check strap with the plastic cover that hopefully, will help with humitidy. Make sure you get them WITH the covers.

Good luck!

If you get one without a cover, can't you just transfer the old cover onto the new door check? It's just a piece of plastic.

The plastic covers over the check straps were "added" later, probably to protect the lubrication on those little bearings and to make the check quieter.
