A real common 914 problem: The tabs mounted on the door post have worn and allow the new check strap to click as it reaches the next detent. A larger pin would eliminate the problem but enlarging the holes on the tabs is a problem with clearance issues. Any bright ideas? Thanks, Brad

I had the same problem with my green car. It wasn't too bad opening the hole to .250" and I used a 1/4" pin. I think I reamed it using a reamer and pliers. No room for a proper holder. 6mm =.236 vs .250 this is .007 per side. Considering it already oversize, even less.
