Give it some time for the grease to get distributed. Mine was making notchy noises, and I lubed it temporarily with WD40 (already have the new strap ready). 2 days later after driving home, I didn't hear the notch anymore.

Amazing, the engineering of these things are! Mine are still original with 172k miles.

One note, don't lose the washer that comes loose when you remove the strap from the doorjamb. They don't come with the strap when you purchase at the dealer. A quick trip to the yard should furnish you with enough of these small parts for spares.
