Sweet Project Cars “Bam 💥 Done ✅ Good for another 20 years “ well said Mike 👍🏼

[@wba68]

Thank you for all you do, Sir. I actually have a new one to install on my 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. You are awesome my friend.

[@MrCa51]

Came back to say thank you! I bought a 13-year-old Honda CR-V a few months ago. All four doors, annoyingly, wouldn't stay open if parked on any sort of incline. The rear left speaker also didn't work when I bought it, but that hasn't been annoying enough to get into the door. I got whacked in the head the other day though as I was bent over and pulling stuff out of the back seat. That inspired me to do a little homework and I came across your video here. In a little over an hour I had both rear door checkers working, and with a little more time discovered that the speaker terminals were just a bit corroded. Both problems fixed for $0.00... fantastic hack, and great video!

[@muznick]

After seeing this video I think it's a good idea to open my new detents and grease them up good before taking the doors apart.

Yup, pretty sure the whole "door slamming shut and crushing your legs" thing comes standard on Subarus :). Thanks for the video.

Great video, i have a problem. Today the mechanics at the Toyota dealership added Grease to the metal hinge because I was complaining that my door made a tapping sound when it's fully open so I guess they thought this would be a solution but it still made the sound apparently all the car models that I have make the same sound when opening they couldn't figure that out first so now my doors open completely out before they used to have a nice stop at every angle this car only has 10,000 miles and the stops were great because if you're on a hill they open up to a certain degree if you're down a hill they open up to the certain degree prevents you from hitting fire hydrants trees etc and now they just have grease and they open way too lightly and too fast so how can I counteract this issue I could take it back to the dealer but I'm trying to avoid them taking the whole door apart just to get into that hinge and clean it out is there another way to do so can I buy like a degreaser or something but I don't want to damage any components inside the hinge if this is really something for the mechanics it just tear apart and clean inside out then I guess I have to resort to that but before I even do that I want to see if I could maybe try another alternative because I know once they start opening things up if they put in reassemble the door again I feel like something is going to be rattly or loose I've been through this before with my windows rattling and the doors just never the same I don't want to violate the assembly yet please suggest any tips I am looking to remove the grease off the metal hinge or the door jamb hinge whatever is called forget my ignorance please help thank you anyone
