I have a 1998 Volvo V70 wagon and the drivers door hinge weld has broken. In order to repair I know the door must come off. What is the process of removing the door wire bundle? In another conversation it was noted that a repair can be made by drilling and putting in two nuts and bolts. It also said not weld since there are wires in the pillar behind the hinge. My question is, can it be welded if one is careful. My auto body person wants to put a new plate over the weld and weld it in place. Any thoughts ?

the wire bundle just twist it and remove. with the hinge out of the post, you can feel around in there with your finger to find where the wires are. welding a plate isn't that easy, i don't thing that there is enough room for an additional piece of metal in the doorway. i think it might impede the doors ability to close properly. hope that helps.

I caught mine for it broke but it was binding the door and making a clunking sound. Brought it to Volvo and they said the door would need to be removed to fix. Then I went to a Welding Shop and he was able to weld it in place but did hook something up to protect the on board computer that can get damaged if you do any welding on the car. So far the weld has held (1 year).
