Librand Doorchecks

Here are some snaps of the fitted Librands door checks, as fitted to my 2011 Plus 4.
I find them very useful in keep the door open especially on an incline or when it is windy.

In any event it looks like common plastic tubing which I suspect could be sourced from any hardware store. Robbie 2021 Plus Four -- Helga 211-WX-1433 "Fettlebodge"--A chief of the PaddyMogs

Yes, they work well but only when the door is open its widest. If you have restricted space as in my garage, or a close parked car in a car part the do not hold the door open.Jack It is a good point. All they need is an extra set of 'Dimples' half way along the slot (note to the manufacturer) I had to give mine a slight squeeze in the vice to make them work on an adverse slope or slight wind. Maybe I over egged it a bit as the Plastic tube on the drivers side now needs a little lube every so often. THis was because, on one occasion recently, I opened the door and the tube jammed the unit closed and it ripped the wood screws out of the door!!!!!!! http://franks4x4-solograndetour.blogspot.co.uk/ Combat Stress-http://www.justgiving.com/Roadster100

Agree that the doors have to be fully open for the restraints to work but oh the pleasure of making a controlled exit with decorum, rather than trying to rush out, timing �it� wrong then getting the ankle whacked! Thoroughly recommended. It�s a shame that the factory doesn�t fit them as standard.

On the other hand, I talked to Rob Wells about this problem a little while ago and he was very happy to sort new tube if the old stuff got pinched ( NOT as in stolen!) G GLLHG
