Removal Procedure

  1. Open the door.
  2. Remove the trim panel. Refer to TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - DOOR .
  3. Remove the water deflector.
  4. Remove the check link from the check link mounting bracket by lifting upward to release.

    Important:  Remove the one screw that retains the check link lock spring, if replacing just the check link lock spring. When replacing the check link bracket all three screws will need to be removed. Remove one screw at a time when replacing the check link bracket. If all three screws are removed at once this may cause the loss of the threaded anchor plate. If this occurs, remove the taillamp and the taillamp pocket in order to access the cavity where the threaded plate is located.

  5. Remove the check link screws from the bracket (2).
  6. Remove the check link bracket (1) and the check link lock spring.
  7. Remove the check link bolts from the door.
  8. Remove the check link boot from the door (6).
  9. Remove the check link (5) from the inside of the door.
