Help me understand. The door stay kit I’m using comes with a pin but it’s too big for the hole. I could make the hole bigger but there’s still no groove for a clip. Stock pin on right

All,
I bought this kit for both doors and installed the rollers and the arms in both doors. As to the PINS, The pins I have are oversized and fit into the two holes on the driver's side door nice and snug. On the passenger side, they will not fit because the passenger door did not get the use that the driver's side received....logical. However, the new pins are too large for the new arms. So the old pin is the right size for the hole in the arm, but there is clicking in the driver's door. The passenger's door works ok, but the door had so little use (and as result wear) there was little difference after the hardware change. After reading this thread I will keep the passenger side with the original pin and the driver's side I will open the hole on the arm a bit so I am super snug on the driver's side. SUGGESTION: I believe that the door could use a bit more snap in the 1/2 open and full-open position. Perhaps the cam lobes on the arms could be cut a bit more severe? Has anyone ever considered this modification? Thank You CTC911CTC |
