Another problem- Boken door catch 850 1994

Thanks to everyone for helping with my first batch of problems.

Here's a new problem.
The driver side door clicks when it opens, and opens wider than usual. I was told that my assembly was broken. Any ideas??

Another problem- Boken door catch 850 1996

if it's the spot welds broken, there shouldn't be any need to remove fender/wing - best access is by removing the door which takes 2 minutes and needs no adjustment on refitting.

Assuming the bracket is still poking through the bodyworks, forget spotweling, and just clean back the paint and grease, and MIG weld the around the bracket, effectively welding to the fender (or wing as we call it!!)

This may not look as 'pretty' as the 2 (useless) original spotwelds, but some touch-up paint, grease, and with the rubber boot on it, it's never seen anyway and is stronger.

I would personally replace the checkstrap as well.

I've done above to my 855, a 2 friends 855's and believe it or not my Dad's 4 year old S70 needed this repair!! All of these were to drivers doors.................

Another problem- Broken door catch 850 1994

been there, done that.
in fact i ordered latches for my 98s70 and tried to repair it myself but in my case the stop comes in halves and the half that was broken on mine was the half that fits in the fender and not the door.
i think i have to take the fender off unless someone reading this knows a "trick".i believe that half is spot welded to the fender.the door half is bolted into place.

The problem could be really small or really big. The catch is attached at two points. One is welded to the frame, the other is bolted to the door. If the bolts come loose, just tighten them. If the weld is cracked, sorry, you'll need to have that rewelded.
