Step-by-step how-to video to fix a creaky (noisy) door or one that won't stay open or close properly. If your Benz door is experiencing these problems, then it means that your door check has reached the near end of its life. This video shows how to replace the door check, sometimes also known as a door strap or door stop. It's an easy fix, but it first requires the removal of the door panel (see my video on how to remove the door panel shown in my video list).

All steps are shown in this easy to follow video. I don't leave any step out or gloss over anything!
