Door Checker Repair

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ In this video we show you how to repair the "Door Stoppers" or "Door Checkers" that hold your doors open for you. As time goes on, the plastic pieces in the Door Checker mechanism wear out and no longer work very well to hold your doors open for you. This video shows you how to replace the "Fixators" (aka plastic pieces) in your Door Checker mechanisms. This job was done on a 3rd Generation Toyota 4runner but the steps and techniques we use in this video will give you a very good idea of how to do this job on other model Toyotas and other make and model vehicles as well. **I wish I would have mentioned this in the video but there's no need to rejoin the two halves of the door checker mechanism with a couple spot welds or maybe JB Weld. I think it was spot welded together by Toyota just so the internal plastic stoppers (fixators) and rubber blocks can't fall out of the door checker mechanism when they are stored and/or shipped. When you install the door checker back in the door and secure it with the two nuts, that holds the two halves together. *PARTS* Toyota 4RUNNER Door Check Repair Kit (4 doors) Strap Stopper Replace https://www.ebay.com/itm/293549669929... **Because of the Russian/Ukraine conflict, you can't get the above kit because Russia has shut down all international sales.
