Squeaks Door bolt rising

devil84 · 19th October 2012, 23:53

When I open the drivers door, I hear a click, this is due to a bolt (on check strap?) rising everytime when I open the door. Ie the bolt is not sitting flush through.. (Will take a pic ****) does any one know the most effective way to fix? Remove bolt or hammer it in, or change the check strap? If it is called the check strap?

If it is a bolt a socket set will help, just tighten it, DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BASH IT IN WITH A HAMMER!, you'll strip the threads and make it worse.

I have the same problem, but its on the passenger side instead. It clicks a few times aswell when opening the door, not just once. Quite annoying.
Has anyone experienced this before and fixed it?
Someone please give us a fix! Will post some pictures soon and explain thoroughly later

I have used a mole grip to turn the bolt in, and so far, so good, its not moving back out for now... we will see how it goes as the door gets used on a daily basis...

Hi guys below is a video of my clicks on the passenger door, I can't really pinpoint where exactly is the noise coming from. Maybe someone can tell us and give us a fix aswel??

@devil84, did you have the same problem as me? If so, can you show me which bolt you tightened please?

Thanks in advance

Grayfox · 24th October 2012, 14:53

Grease that sucker or use graphite powder.

devil84 · 25th October 2012, 23:46

yes, I am had the same problem. I thought I tightend it, but now its back again.

The bolt is rising!! is that called a check strap??
anyone??

devil84 · 28th October 2012, 00:08

anyone???

Grayfox · 28th October 2012, 01:52

If you tightened it and it is coming loose you may need to coat the threaded size of the bolt to help it stick but my best advice is go see honda

Have you ever had the door "blown" open by strong wind?

I can't remember off the top of my head if the civic check strap has roller bearings or springs, but it sounds like they have been damaged at some point or the the bolts holding it onto the door have came loose.

It's either 2 10mm or 8mm bolts that hold it in place, see if they are tight, if they are I'd get a new check strap.

Rht the bolt has come flying off. Cannot find it.ncan someone confirm this a check strap.?

Does anyone know which part I should be looking for?

Looks like I will need buy a new check strap.

Does anyone know how to fit this? Is is straight forward?

No 15 or 18 depending on what side you need.

Door trim off first then the bolt holding it onto the pillar, then the 2 bolts/nuts that hold it onto the door, then reverse what you done for fitting the new one.

devil84 · 31st October 2012, 20:13

Thank you,

When you say what side? I need drivers side... But that pic is for what side door?

When you say door trim, you mean the door card??

Yeah, the door card.

When you order it just say its the drivers side you need.

devil84 · 31st October 2012, 20:17

Bugger, door card needs to come off too... Shall I leave this to Honda to sort out? Difficult job?

Plus what number is that on here... Cannot find it.

dobe · 31st October 2012, 20:21

Pretty easy, don't go near honda for this.

They'll be a how-to on here somewhere for taking the door card off.

devil84 · 31st October 2012, 20:23
