- Helps control the opening and closing of your doors
- Can protect door from rough use
- Replace when failing to help extend the life of your door
Your Nissan's doors are designed to be strong, but they can still sustain damage when handled roughly. Luckily, your Nissan comes with Door Checks for extra protection. Your Door Check helps control your door when you open it to the max and when you close it. When you open a car door, the Door Check stops it from swinging too far, helping protect the hinges from being pushed past their limit. When you close a door, the Door Check behaves like a brake to slow the door down and help reduce the impact of the door hitting the vehicle frame.
A Door Check is made to last. Like any part of your vehicle, however, it can meet a premature end based on how you handle your Nissan. Excessively opening and closing doors, slamming them shut, and throwing them open might make a Door Check wear out faster. When a Door Check fails, it becomes less effective. You might notice your door closing harder or opening wider than it used to.
A failing Door Check may not seem like big deal, but replacing it can help make your door and its hinges last longer. A door that opens too far might break a hinge, and a door that slams closed can damage the door itself and its internal components. Replacing your Nissan Door Check can be fairly easy, but it does call for removing the door panel. If you don't feel comfortable with this, you can always bring your Nissan to the nearest authorized service center to have trained technicians handle the replacement.
When buying a replacement Nissan Door Check, you want a part that's not only compatible with your specific model and year but also durable. Shopping genuine OEM parts is a great way to find a Door Check custom-made for your vehicle.
