Hate to bring this up after reading a thread on how the forum is being swamped by old stuff But.....
I just rebuilt my door stays with mikey's kit. I have a question about the black roller. Is it suppose to roll? It is a tight squeeze and doesn't want to rotate very easily. Does the black plastic roller need to be sanded down to not be so wide in the stay assembly? Thanks, Buck |

If you are reusing the door strap should be cleaned also. -Mark |

I have installed the kit and put the door stays back into the car. When you open the door, there is a click as the door opens up at around 45 degrees. If you look at the strap there is a "wave" pattern. As the door extends to the first wave it works well. As the door opens and gets to the second wave on the strap there is an audible click.
Both doors do it at the same location, the second wave. Anybody have this problem? I think I have to grind down some of the second wave to stop the click. My next move is to take off the door stay of my other 914 and see if it is the strap or something else. |

This click is from the force reversal at the camshaft taking up the clearance at the pin on the jamb. You can reduce this by replacing the worn pin, but you probably won't be able to completely eliminate it.
