What is the usual fix for the door strap coming away from the A pillar?
-
a welder!

The links below provide some useful information. Its probably worth doing the door bush first to see if that cures things and it only takes a minute. If this dosn't do the trick then try the reinforcement plates as in the 2nd link

It's coming away from the A pillar. The above fix is for the door itself. ;)

I'm going to have to agree with the student ...... again! :-? :-? :-? You need a welder, although one I've seen where it needed work, I reckon you'd need to dig a little to find something decent to weld to. :-? :y :y

Cheers Andy, I think its time for me to go to bed!
Sorry Ken, Tunnies suggestion was spot on. Hopefully someone will come up with other suggestions

thames valley workshop had roughly welded the one on mine after someone had opened the door a bit enthusiastically. ::) it has started to tear away from the post again. :( think i'll remove it from the pillar, weld a plate over the hole and the re attach the check strap. that should sort it once and all. :)

That's the proper way to do it :y

I have done two now with pop rivets and they are still good. Just drill out the spot welds and then use a good size pop. ;)

My miggy was recalled for this problem in 2003 and the dealer done a full replacement of the strap. They welded all the way around the replacement parts on the a pillar "to stop it breaking again" it's now starting to break away again and needs welding. I took it back to the dealer and although it is now 7 years and 55k miles since it was done they said they would do it again for £25 + vat.
