Inside the door there is a right angled reinforcing plate that is spot welded to the door frame. It is available as a repair part, means removing the door and drilling out the spot welds to fit.
I used pop rivets to fit the replacement, pick  your diameter and they look to have about the same bearing area as a spot weld. Without the worry of heating, corrosion and electronic damage of welding.
It's lasted nearly a year so far with no sign slackness.

There is a kit, or at least a list of parts, bracket, reinforcing plates and screws in TIS field remedies..

There was a servive bulletin covering this, they suggest using a hole saw on the footwell side panel to give access to the back of the door pillar.
Then drill through the old bracket and door pillar and bolt together with a reinforcing plate inside the pillar.
I think I would try to repair the side panel by welding just in case it froms part of the crash protection for your legs.




its snapped off inside the door. its not the arm its the roller bit attachment. so have very little room to move, hubby mentioned replacing the door!!!!! which i promptly told him no way! their has to be a way i can fix it.
