check strap nightmare almost over

hey guys,

i finally decided to call a local benz shop and htey said it was only 1.5 hours to do check strap repair for the door. The rattle is absolutely driving me nuts so I decided to buy one off ebay. its only $20 so i figured i got nothing to lose. The car just sounds so cheap with that damn rattle. i want it sounding like a benz. anyways they are about $20 new on ebay. just FYI

omeyhomey, Just had this done myself. I paid $14 for the door strap and for &100 my shop installed it and fixed the trunk(Latch was missing screws). I was afraid to mess up the leather door panel. Try www.autohausaz.com, they have great prices on most things. I still shop around but find them less most the time. OK thats my 2 cents worth --Good Luck

You're lucky yours didn't do to you waht mine in my 95 did to me. It bent the font window rails inside the door and cost me $400 to fix.
