1995 850glt station wagon (im in the US) door

the driver's door has decided to make an annoying popping noise on opening and closing- i know it has to do with the spring loaded arm that keeps the door from hitting you if you are parked on an angle; the arm is attached to the door frame and extends into the door itself- and apparently is supposed to roll over some sort of roller- that appears to be the "broken" part. the part can be seen inside the door, but i am not sure if it has become unwelded, unscrewed, or just plain broken. anyone ripped the door panel off that can give me some advice or warning on what i will find inside the door?? thanks so much

Hi, The spring operated part which holds the door open needs replacing. I did the same thing for my car of the same year and model as yours. I would have the new part on hand at the time so that when you have the door panel off and the old one out, you will have the replacement ready to put in. Good luck, you can do it. Brad
