Mine made a loud rap when the door was opened, as it was approaching full open, because of slack. I investigated oversize pins or bushings, then I discovered that the wear was actually in the aluminum arm that's part of the stay itself. New arm and new pin, and I have a nice tight fit and no rap.
Thats what drew me to address this problem, Same symptom, a very audible *clack*
I knew it wasent the alum. stay since I had already rebuilt those with Dave's parts (PLUG!) & had used a new unworn pin. Looking it over it is definitely ovaled.
So Dave if you drill it out for a larger pin youd also have to drill out the alum. stay as well? Its pretty tight for a drill ?
