Grabbing whatever is removable from the old one is fine I think that it is just the spring and the pin that holds it in place. It fit perfectly and the price was 1/3 that of a factory one. They are working perfectly and I don't think there is anything to worry about
The leaf can be used on either the left or right door, just flip it over to get to that

I had trouble keeping the back doors of my Suburban open. That problem can be fixed quickly with these methods. The uninstall/installation of the door strap can be viewed in several YouTube videos.

Whenever it gets closed, it pops off the pin inside the door. To keep it open, I have to lift the pin so it stays on each time I open the door. You should note that if you forget about this or don't notice this and close your door again, you will have dents on the inside edge of the door like mine.

This replacement was purchased after I snapped the door check on my rear door while trying to latch it. This is a perfect fit and factory quality part the last one lasted for 25 years of heavy use, which gives me a good idea about how long this one will last.
As a first-time user, I was worried, but after installation it is the best thing I've ever done.
It took me awhile to figure out what the problem was with the rear door of my Tahoe, but then I found it. Once again, you will be happy to open those back doors after purchasing this inexpensive tool.
Similar to original equipment, but at a much lower cost. You should consider getting it if you don't want your cargo doors to flap in the wind.
