Door Hinge

There is an arm that has detent spots on it, not related to the hinges. You'll have to get your eyes down there to see what's happening. On mine, the door metal itself had cracked and broken where the arm goes inside the door. We had to take the door apart and weld the metal back in place. We reinforced the metal inside the door so it never happens again, then repainted the area where we welded and ground the metal. Hopefully yours won't be that complicated, maybe as simple as a pin missing on that arm.

This thread topic reminded me that I need to install this heavy duty plate between the door check and the door in my 03’ SV8. I’ve only had this for about 7 years and it was supposed to go in my wife’s 00’ XJ8. I think I ordered it from Coventry West. I installed one in my 98’ XJR years ago and is still flawless today.
