This essential hardware kit replaces the internal components that guide the door checkrod strap. Over time, the plastic rollers can flat-spot or crack, and the pins can wear thin, leading to a \"popping\" or \"clunking\" sound whenever the door is opened or closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe 141-256A kit provides all the necessary hardware to rebuild the mechanism for one or both doors (depending on the specific set configuration). It includes precision-machined steel pins, durable rollers, and the critical tension clips required to lock the pins in place. Refreshing this hardware is a vital step in any door restoration, as it ensures the checkrod strap slides effortlessly without catching or causing premature wear on the strap itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e This hardware set is designed for all Type 14 models across these years:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"30\"\u003eEliminates Noise:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces the worn components responsible for the loud \"clunk\" common in aged Ghia doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eComplete Hardware Solution:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes the specialized small pins and C-clips that are often lost or damaged during disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Rollers are manufactured from high-impact materials to withstand the constant pressure of the door checkrod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOEM Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e Cross-references with factory part number 141-837-256\/A for a guaranteed fit inside the door pillar and hinge pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e Part Number: 141-256A (Ref: 141-837-256\/A)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e Door Checkrod Support Hardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Varies by Brand (Available as single-door or two-door kits)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e Steel Pins \/ High-Density Rollers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"32\"\u003eClean the Pocket:\u003c\/b\u003e Before installing the new rollers, use a small wire brush or vacuum to remove old grease, dirt, and plastic fragments from inside the door pillar where the rollers sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCheck the Strap:\u003c\/b\u003e Inspect your checkrod strap (Part # \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.ipconlinestore.com\/products\/30496\" title=\"141-253B-L\/R VW Karmann Ghia Door Checkrod Strap - (1956-1974)\"\u003e141-253B-L\/R\u003c\/a\u003e) while you have the pins out.
