Hello, I'm new here obviously. I just bought a 99 SC2, and I noticed the driver side door makes a loud popping noise once I open it past a certain point. The door works fine its just the noise. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

 

Mine does that to on mine there is a bushing and or pin wore out on the peice that hold the door open at certain location and as you open it past those locations it pops.

 

Any help with which parts I would need to replace it would be helpful.

 

Its the door striker assembly , mine is doing the same

 

Could also be the door check. Problem is we can't tell what part is bad from here. Your going to have to go out to your car and see just what's going, we can't do it for you.

 

I am not sure what the part is called after I figured out what it was I didn't worry about it to much. I figure it is cheap car alarm that keeps my kids out of it as when my dogs hear it they wake up all the neighbors.

 

You sure the front fender isn't hitting the door in one spot? I've seen cars that have had a slight bump to the bumper and pushed the fender back just far enough to rub the door when it opens. If you found the problem, take a picture and post it here. Someone will most likely know what it's called.

 

I was taking a closer look at it and it looks like when the door opens the door stop (i guess that's what you call it, the thing that keeps the door open) pulls on the metal of the door and makes it pull out then pop back in. I guess that's what's making the noise the metal pulling in and out? I dunno how to fix that, it seems like the metal is thin there or something.

 

It's called "door check" and it sounds like it's binding. Sounds like it's been binding for a long time, it's been ignored almost as long.

 

I'm not sure what "binding" means, but I think I'm just going to remove the door check all together and see if that helps. I dunno what else to do.
