May 30! Would love one of these before my car goes to paint! Any updates? I volunteer to be a test subject!

thanks.

. Just the ease of getting the brace to the inside hole is the difficulty.  Looks really sound. Let me know. I'll try one or two.

Got mine 2! Do you have one of the rarely seen 4 door 2002s? ?

Very clever!  Will your bracket also work with the original (flat blade) style check strap, and the improved design flat blade strap offered by a FAQ member?

I can confirm that the bracket and pin fit the door brakes that Harry Davis sells.  I've got both, but I like these modified Mercedes ones from Harry better than the newer style ones that BMW sells now.  Less pop when you open the doors.  More of a cushioned feel to them 

 

 

Time for me to start peeling back the original 1-piece carpet in my 74tii to expose that access hole.  1 piece carpet is a PITA and mine is all sandy and stinky,  I think i see a carpet kit from Esty in my future...

Well done brother. Little fiddly for

me to stick the top hole but got it! This is a great fix! Back off for paint now!

Thumbs up to the guys at PRDesign! I was able to install the repair bracket without any drama. The footwell carpet doesn’t need removal, just loosen the lower edge and corner just enough to access the port hole on the sheet metal. Using the bracket as the template for two 1/4” holes, nail punching the marks, drillIng, a bit of filing and the fiddly part of getting the backer plate piece in. Then bolt it up, set the pin, re glue the carpet and it’s done. Well worth the effort and price! Wife is happy!

Regarding the picture for the “4 door” model, I made a similar mistake. I asked for 2 and did not realize they were being sold in sets of 2 for the price

 

But now I have a gift to pay fwd to a friend

 

Can’t wait to install in coming weeks

I bought two sets on purpose because I have two cars...

I bought the kit. The installation was a snap, and I no longer fear my wife opening the door on a windy day... I highly recommend this simple fix for a very annoying problem. Pair it with harry6422's door brake kit and Bob's your uncle.

Is this kit still available? How do I purchase this repair kit?

Flashback circa 1973, note to self ....don't open drivers door while pulled over on shoulder along I-5 when a semi roars by..... bracket didn't break but pin popped out and leading edge of door sheet metal bent at hinge stop.  Same popping noise described resulted ever time door was opened or closed until door sheet metal repaired.
