 hi Guys,
I am having noise on the driver side door and it is making clicking noise. Do I need to replace it or I can twist and remove it

Please see attached pictures, as I could not upload the pictures from ipad. I was watching you tube on the Vectra and the guy was turning around the check strap door hinge.

I don't know if you can do this on this particular model Astra j elite 2011 Model.
Sorry I could not upload the image, so I have used the external website, so you can see the image.

Hi Niteram,
Mine still makes the clicking sound, as I tighten the bolt and still makes the sound , so now I need to change the right hand strap and I think I will have to remove the trim card off from the door.
Thank you for your reply.
