Re: '99 Tahoe Barn Doors

Tried that and that didn't go well at all. When I removed the strap from the door I found a crack in the loop portion. Fatigue from 20 years of wear I would guess results in not enough tension to hold the door? Any idea what that strap is called for a replacement part? "Cargo door tension strap" or similar? Did not find any bolts to remove for replacing that strap. There is a spring type clip arrangement at the body side end of the strap with a down pin. Maybe remove the spring, slide the pin out and replace that way. Not sure about that.

UPDATE: Did a Google search and found a U-Tube video for changing the "cargo door check strap" . Looked to be pretty straight forward and found the straps on Evilbay for $24.95 a pair shipped. Will order them tomorrow.
