I think the door assembly was designed by someone who is very, very tired of broken “spruce tree” clips etcScrews are much easier to add than redoing tooling for heat staking (typically).
Also screws are more reliable than clips (clips break and tightness can't be adjusted).
Yes I can see why that strap would need to be serviced. Elastic straps break. Also no I don't want a plastic molded clip holding the strap (weaker and can't be removed to install a new strap).
I swear these engineers don't even consider anything other than "we could make it cheaper so this method is bad".
