Dear Amy in MD,

Hope you're well. I'm sorry to hear about your encounter with an MIA (moron-in-action).

According to Volvo VADIS - the how-superseded dealer parts/service database - there are different part numbers for driver's doors for a 945 (1991) and a 745 (1990). I do not know if these differences matter. A salvage yard will have a Hollander manual, which shows interchangeability of parts.

To avoid electrical problems, the 945's wiring harness; motors for door lock, mirror, and window; and the master window/mirror switch should be transferred to the 745 door. That swap ensures plug-and-play compatibility.

If only the sheet metal shell of the 945's door has been damaged - i.e., if the door frame is not bent, kinked, etc. - then it should be possible to get from Volvo a replacement shell (Part #1355473, a "gusset panel", about $300). A body shop can pretty easily replace that piece, paint the door, and all's back to the way it was.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
