Steven, I always called it a crash stop until I read the "door brake" terminology in the 996 repair manual.

It's a torx, but I don't know what torx size (looks like 50-ish, but my torx set only goes up to 27).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On my 2004 C2, the screw that fastens the door brake to the body is loose. It's a torx, but I don't know what torx size (looks like 50-ish, but my torx set only goes up to 27). Anyone know what the torx size is so I only have to buy one driver instead of a whole set? Thanks. p.s. For those who are wondering, the door is mounted on two hinges, and the door brake is the metal link (bar) that stops the door from opening beyond a certain distance.

POST 2Original post

Commonly know as a check strap My car is up on the lift and not reachable or I would get this for you.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, CosmosC4S. Will try that. Steven, I always called it a crash stop until I read the "door brake" terminology in the 996 repair manual. Now I have three ways to say it. Thanks for adding to my repertoire. A 996 owner's gotta maintain his erudite image!
