Beetle Door Check Strap Kit - 1961-79

This door check strap is a vital replacement part for all VW Beetles from 1961 to 1979, designed to prevent the door from swinging open too far and causing damage to the door, hinges, or A-pillar. Acting as a mechanical limiter, the check strap connects the door to the body and halts movement at a controlled point, protecting your classic Beetle’s structural integrity and paintwork.

Whether you`re restoring a vintage Bug or replacing a worn or broken strap, this part is essential for both safety and preservation. A failed or missing door check strap can result in doors flinging open in windy conditions or overextending on a slope, often leading to costly bodywork repairs.

Made from durable steel with correct hole placements and alignment, this reproduction check strap fits like the original. Installation is straightforward, and only one strap is needed per door.

This door check strap seal is designed for use on all Beetles from 1961 onwards.
