stan's52 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 How is the door stop removed so I can remove the door on my 52 Concord? Thanks for any help.stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 cut the bottom of the rivet.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Another approach: There is a rubber bumper inside the door on the end of the check-strap. You should be able to maneuver the rubber piece off the check strap and then the strap itself can slide out of the slot in the door as you get the door off the car.

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 and there are two other cupped pieces of metal on that stop lever that lock into the special strap that is riveted to the door itself...no it must be removed from inside the door..you will need to remove the rivet..

46Ply Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I can't find any diagrams of the door stop mechanism in the manual. (P15) And I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the loud pop when the door is fully opened. I would also like to replace the bolt for a proper pin if I knew what to look for or where to buy one.

Young Ed Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Go to the hardware store and see if you can find one of these. You need a real store not home depot. If you can't send me a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 a loud pop usually means that the door is catching on the fender when it's opened and/or closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Certainly an easy way to test. Remove the bolt and see if it still pops. Just be careful not to lose the arm down inside the door if you don't want to have to fish it out later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Ply Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) It's definitely not catching on the fender... I already considered that. With the bolt/pin out it swings freely. Ed, If I shop for the part you've shown in the picture, what do you call it? ps. I did send you a PM Edited December 3, 2015 by 46Ply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Sex bolt. Google it. But stay on the hardware topic, and no adolescent remarks. Sex bolts have been called for typically to attach a door closer to the top of a door. Years ago, when architectural specifications were typed new for every project, I would write "sex bolts" but the typists would consistently type "hex bolts". So I printed a hardware data sheet illustrating a sex bolt and titled it; "Everything you wanted to know about sex bolts but were afraid to ask", adapting the title of a popular book of the era. Oh, go ahead with your adolescent comments, guys. Edited December 3, 2015 by DonaldSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46Ply Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) After making my rounds this is the closest thing I've found: https://www.fastenal.com/products;jsessionid=F46D92972A0FD3FC83D2EF537F0BBA12.fcomjvm01?term=11103499&searchMode= Will this do the job? It takes any #10 size threaded screw. Which does not come with it, and it's not in stock, so I can't try it without ordering a minimum of 5 per pkg.

Dodgeb4ya Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I buy them complete both pieces at Ace Hardware. They are 1/4" diameter X 3/8" long. Edited December 4, 2015 by Dodgeb4ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get mine from the hardware store they come with the screw. However I don't see why those won't work. The picture looks too tall so you'd have to get shorter or cut it.

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Believe these are the one and the same Ed sent me...... If a tad long..file to length..would be better than trying to extend them http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steel-Zinc-Combo-Truss-Head-Phillips-Slot-Post-Nut-Screw-10-24-X-3-8-/370309716732?hash=item56382ddafc:g:vdsAAOxyB0VRure5 Edited December 4, 2015 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46Ply Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Got the bolts. They fit perfect! Problem is.... I still have the pop when the door is fully extended. As if something inside the door needs some lubrication. Don't want to take the door panel off before I know what I'm looking for. Can I spray some lube through the door opening where the arm extends?

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 IF..your rubber stopper is missing...(the part that is inside the door) the final snap in place could have a resounding pop also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Check straps (Door Stops) are kinda complicated. They can be very difficult to repair if damaged .. I'm not positive on the strap design of the P-15 or D-24 cars but if like a 1946-48 chrysler there are two styles of check straps.. one style is shown which has two steel loops that can break from lack of lubrication and will cause the loud snap when opening the door fully then closing it. The door has to be cut open on the hinge side for access... not an easy job. No new parts are available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had previously found and studied your other post on this subject, but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require cutting into the door! Not saying there is one, but that's something I'll have to take to a body shop. Is this covered anywhere in the service manual? I can't find anything on it in the service manual or the Parts List manual. How do you access these parts to lubricate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 To lube the strap just spray lithium or squirt a heavy oil into the hole area where the strap enters the door. Even grease on the strap should get pushed into the area the lube needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Ply Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) I tried that, but I'll give it another dose. Dose #2, still no difference. Maybe I can't get it where it needs to go. Edited December 10, 2015 by 46Ply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
