    Anyone else have a clicking noise when opening the drivers or passengers door in their VR-VS?

    I noticed it from day dot but now its starting to sound pretty bad where im actually getting unwanted attention in car parks when I get in or out. I have greased up the hinges and anything else that moves on the inner door jamb but still get the sound.

    I think maybe I have broken something because I notice the steel slider on the car body that goes in and out of the door lifts up nd then bangs/pops back down?

    Replace the door or is it an easy fix?

    Sounds like the check strap, that bit that slides in and out of the door. Mine does it too. Shouldnt be too hard to replace it, but Ive never done it

    Usually when that happens, it means that the check strap is loose. You just need to tight up the 1 or 2 bolts on the body and it will fix the problem. Same thing for all other model Commodores.

    Happens to me too, drivers side only. Shits me. I'm looking for a fix too.
