    Bad windstorm in Georgia last week. As I opened my door at a gas station the wind grabbed it and slammed it open. Door and hinges look OK. When I go to close the door, it seems to grab and pops just before closing. The window will not go down the whole way. The door check strap stop looks ok from the outside. I have not removed the panel to check it out. What should I be looking for?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I hate when that happens.

    You really need to take the door panel off completely to see what’s going on in there

    I hate it worse when it slams closed & smashes a body part.

    The toe squisher at the front of the door is cool.
