Or whatever they are called. My left rear door was sounding a bit funky when I closed it, which is admittedly rare because I'm usually driving by myself. The MB thunk was sounding a bit tinny.

I eyeballed the check strap where it goes into the door and dang if both bolts weren't hand loose! Tightened them and went door to door, and 3 of 4 doors had loose bolts... Only the driver's door, which of course I use all the time, was tight. Go figure.

The thunk is restored, thank goodness...
