In another 10 years
I would consider the repair 1 - 10 a 2 on the difficult scale 10 being the hardest.
Easiest access to the strap is with the roof straight up , throw a couple of bungee around the roof holding the back glass loosely folded so you can get your hands in the side . Then accessing the strap , the top of the strap is attached with a rivet bottom is a small hex head maybe 7mm or 10mm if I remember . I just grabbed rivet head with a good pair of side cutters wiggling it out like pulling a tooth 😂 not putting close pressure to cut , being careful not to cut the head of the rivet off . Bam reinstall the new rivet and strap repeat the process on the other side.
Everything I fix takes 3 times longer than it should , me a couple of hours . A normal person 😂 an hour 👍 it’s not a hard fix
