Side cargo door hinge issue
#11
So it is the side cargo door hinge. Went to Chevy to pick one up, but they were trying to bend me over...$107 I went on amazon and found one for $41...Will give that I try and report back.
Since last time I was on here, I have painted the van, nothing real fancy, just a coat over, pitch black so I can get the company logo and stuff on her.
just making her worth my while

1st-OK here is torturebori's picture rotated
2nd-This is his and mine side by side, with mine released like his.
3rd-Mine hooked on the post in the door
4th-Mine unhooked from the post (with door almost closed pull strap, will come off the post)
5th-Looking at bend at end of the strap
I think the spring is broken, or the post in the door is missing, broken with excessive force, possibly a wind gust. With a flashlight look in the door area, you should see a vertical rod (post).

I’ve searched all the threads I can find on this, Ty muchos!

Door check

I don't know why someone would take that strap when they take the door. It just bolts to the B-pillar (or C-pillar/doorjam area) and hooks inside around an internal post, you don't have to take it off to remove the door, although it can be helpful. In fact there's labels right on there, if you need to open the door further than the strap allows, push the strap back when the door is partway open to unhook it, and then it will open all the way back about 145'.

Door check
This is where door check should connect
And same taken inside other door
Looks like I could just put a bolt thru there. Any idea what size bolt to use, by dia of hole should be 1/4 or 5/16
