Re: '99 Tahoe Barn Doors

Ordered the door checks on line and got them Saturday. Just changed the one a bit ago that was broke. Passenger side which gets the most use. Pretty easy fix, maybe 15 minutes total, part of that being gathering up tools. Used 6'' straight screw driver, pair of pliers and an inspection mirror.

Propped the door open and removed a cir-clip at the bottom of the pin. Tapped the pivot bolt out and removed the broken door check. Swapped the tension spring from broken door check to the new one along with the nylon bushing insert. Positioned the door check in place and then tapped the pivot bolt in place. Replaced the cir-clip and opened the door all the way, closing it and letting the door check catch the door pivot rod. My door stays open again !!
