Re: '99 Tahoe Barn Doors

Love barn doors too! Sadly, I’m selling my 99 (upgraded to a 2019 Suburban).

Here’s a photo that shows the metal strap that limits door swing. Inside the door the strap makes a U-bend. The mouth of the bend has widened to the point it doesn’t grip the post inside the door. If you partially close the door beyond the mouth of the U the strap can be pushed sideways to where it disconnects from the door. Swing door aside once strap is loose then take pliers and crimp the U a bit to narrow the mouth. Once done replace the strap inside the door at the post. it should have enough bite to hold the door open.
