Re: Jeep Cherokee door check straps. Are these right?

here you go:

Here are the Cherokee rear door checks installed courtesy of Larry Wilson (FleetsideLarry on chevytalk). These only have one detent and that's when the door is completely open. The width of the opening is about 42 inches, a little wider than stock, and, .....



as seen here, come dangerously close to crashing into the cowl and creating a much-dreaded "smiley face".



Larry placed a stock stop and a rear-door Jeep check side by side for comparison. The rear-door check is about 3/8" longer than the stock on. Larry shortened the Jeep rear-door unit by 3/8" and got an opening width of 34-3/4" (goes to about 35-1/2" with pressure on the door) and gives him about 1/4" clearance between the door edge and the cowl with some pressure applied.

The Jeep rear-door check is estimated to be about an inch longer than the Jeep
