Door check...how do you adjust?

[mr_manny]

I noticed my new-to-me bronco 2 passenger door doesn't stay open like the drivers door does.
Is there a way to adjust the door check?

Thanks in advance.

No adjustment that I'm aware of. Replacement springs are available. Cheap too.

I need to order some myself. The driver's side is broken on my truck.

That ^^^^ is most likely the best solution right there.

Obviously I thought the Door Hinge Roller was responsible for holding the door open.

Thanks for the education.

It is... in combination with that spring that it rides on.

Picked up some spring plates.
Now curious how difficult they are in install

I already asked my autobody guy, he doesn't have any experience with these.
Anyone ever install these before?

I still haven't ordered any. The factory is riveted on. Guessing you have to take the door off and drill it out then bolt the new one in it's place.

What kind of factory is riveted on your truck? Must be new. I don't remember seeing it in person.

It's a fish processing plant. In the hubcaps.

Seriously though, the hinge spring is riveted on from the factory. Kinda makes me wonder if you have to drill the cab out to make room for the head of the bolt in that kit?
