graearea Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 my doors are held closed by these little straps with plastic threaded studs. they're terrible. they pull out and then land on the floor somewhere. I've just lost one. what do I use instead? do I just spend 16quid on a new one and throw the strap away :(cheers!J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 8, 2022 Leadership Team Share Posted July 8, 2022 Fit the optional equipment armrests and you can do away with the small strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Mine are 24 years old and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Why nit replace the plastic screw with something more substantial - probably something with a bit of steel in it? Mine have worked fine for 12 years - Think mine is fixed with a popper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 #3 - can you retrofit just the armrests to existing doors? (ie you don't have to buy whole new doors?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Fitted armrests to my S3 doors,so much better than the straps and with added comfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 9, 2022 Leadership Team Share Posted July 9, 2022 #6Yes, they just need three holes drilling in the appropriate place and then the small strap is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
