Hi all, The Check Strap on my Drivers door was making a really loud Clunking noise when i opened or closed the door. Its a common problem on 850's &
early V70's, the 2 spot welds Break apart on the pillar so it does'nt work properly.....So instead of getting it Welded up i found this on the VOC forum
and gave it a go this morning.
It took me about an hour from start to finish, really easy to do and it Work's.

Hope this works for you.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsHi,
when this happened to my first 850 I just removed the thing. The door was fine and did not give me any grief whatsoever. I would remove the tie and store it incase you decide to fix at a later date. I kept mine for a while then chucked it.
cheers,Mike

Thanked 1,005 Times in 711 PostsThis ancient thread is the only one I can find that hints at the fix!!! I have my new strap, but want to find out as much as I can before starting so I don't make any time wasting mistakes. If anyone knows of a thread with photos please let me know. The nearest I have found was on Matthews Volvo Site but that was instructions on removing trim panels.
Looks like I might be photographing my efforts when I get round to it! But if you do know how, PLEASE let me know!!!

Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsI fitted a new strap to my dads 850, was a bit fiddly, but quite simple.
From what I can remember (its been some time) just remove the door trim, remove the pin from the car body end, undo the bolts (on the end of the door) to the check strap and remove.

Thanked 1,005 Times in 711 PostsMade a start on the job...only to discover the splined bolt holding the strap to the pillar has been stripped!!!! So will be ordering one of those in a moment and taking a look for a hefty HSS drill
