Check out the door strap bush fix in maintenance guide under Body, Cosmetics &Trim  (internal)

[flyer 0712]

Usually the plastic type bush in the door strap worn out....very easy and cheap repair 

[Taxi_Driver]

About 10p each iirc from the vx dealer 

[mickyboy123]

just had exact same problem got 2 new bushes for check strap 76 p each from vx. it is now perfect 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Anyone got the part number handy ? 

Calling VX tomoz anyway for something else might as well order a few of these at the same time..

Check strap support bush is what you be wanting...

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Okay I removed this from the drivers door.. How does it look to you guys ?

[VXL V6]

Just replace it, grease the whole lot up and refit and tighten up (tighter than you might think) the nut and bolt assembly.

The plastic washers look fine when you take them off but regardless a new one fixes the problem.... unless the check strap is ripped from the A post or out of the door of course!

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Yeah i'll get a few new ones especially for pennies, Just to confirm is this the part number 90462823... Unless i use a part number they can never find the part i need most of the time..

If its a loud cracking noise, that's the most likely part. About 40p each now IIRC.  You should see movement in it when opening door slowly, esp when it hits the first notch.

Fit dry.

If that doesn't resolve it, it could be the mech in the door.


Don't leave it, as eventually it appears to either knacker the door (fix kit available) or rip the bit off the A post (awkward welding to fix)

Yeah to both of those, Also there is movement there.
