Re: IML: passenger door

Are these check arms used across other Chrylser makes? My 63 is missing this part on each front door. Thanks in advance...................Alex

There was someone reproducing that check arm piece. Haven't seen them advertised for some time though. I would remove the remaining piece before you do further damage or someone is injured. I'm betting the star wheel problem is the inner mechanism is all gummed up.I had a 64 that the drivers door had this problem & either refused to shut or would fly open while driving. I finally discovered the works were full of rust & crud. Once freed up, no further problem.You may be able to do this by spraying something such as WD-40 or a penetrate & work the handles & lock till it frees up. If this doesn't work. You will need to remove the inner door panel to get inside to give things a good cleaning. The penetrate & an old toothbrush work well here. I've owned 4 63's & have had lots of practice with doors & windows. They are relatively easy compared to 64-66 Imperials.
