Questions & Answers

What do I do if the spring on my barn doors on my 1999 suburban is on the pin? Could you please tell me where to put the previous spring on this new black part?

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

Fits the left rear door as well? In the absence of a part number, do you know what it is?

The leaf can be used on either the left or right door, just flip it over to get to that

It's fixed now! It was getting to be a problem for me getting multiple concussions because the barn doors in my wife's '98 suburban would come back and shut on their own and hit me in the head, so after some research, I found these that should solve the I am not sure how well they will hold up in the long run, but I will make sure to update you if The tires have been installed for a few months and the tires have seen a great deal of use during camping trips and loading/unloading chores Having repeatedly been subjected to head trauma for a long period of time, I am no longer afraid of having CTE in my later years

GM, if I do, I'll be coming for you! Hahaha, I'm kidding! But really, are you? )

Put a little grease on these when installing them. You should do them one side at a time to ensure they are joined correctly. Go back and forth and see if this is the correct way to do it. The little hinge spring had not been installed at the appropriate angle, so when I wondered why the strap kept coming out of place, I realized I had messed up when installing the buckle.

The door strap for the Suburban can be replaced with this replacement
5/5

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. A pair of pliers (needle nose and wider jaws) is all you need to replace the old part. You will need to do this in less than ten minutes. By pulling the C-shaped piece with the needle nose pliers, you will secure the cable in place Once you unclip the strap from the hinge pin clip, you can release the hinge pin. By doing the reverse installation, you will be able to install.

However, this does not work
3/5

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. I had to get new paint and work many hours to fix this.

The exact thing I was looking for
5/5

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.

You won't have to slam the door on my back anymore
5/5

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.

For the money, this is a very good replacement
5/5

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.
