A check strap arrangement for a motor vehicle door includes a dust cover which is easily and rapidly assembled without the use of separate fastening operations, tools or fasteners. The check strap housing is provided with spherical recesses and the dust cover is provided with cooperating detents. The cover detents are adapted to be snap fitted into the recesses of the check strap housing so as to securely retain the cover on the check strap housing.
