I have fixed several of these. The door strap can be purchased or taken
from a donor. the hardest part is getting the rivet out of the end that
connects to the door (not enough room to drill it out, but I have cut the
peened over part off with a Dremel). After you have done that you just
reach in from the foot well and pull it out. Put in the new one and a new
rivet. The rivet part is easier said than done, but it can be done.
