My driver side door gives a metallic crumpling sound when it is fully extended. ; it only started happening recently. I was told by a mechanic that the doorstop need replacing.

I have a 2002 Volvo s40. What is the part name and number and is it hard to replace?

Again this is the driver side door.

Thanks in advance.

Yah, I didn't even know what to call the part...Is it expensive ??..
It allows the door to open half-way to keep from denting adjacent parked cars, and then fully open...
Looks like a ball-joint knuckle into the door post; guessing the inside door cover needs removed....what mysteries/nightmares await ??
Replace Window Regulator/Motor while we're in there ???
Any One ???

 

Have a look in VIDA!

Do you mean #7 in this pix?


That would be a 30652143.

 

Check with Tascaparts.com.

Heh, Tasca thinks a 30652143 is a wheel arch molding. I picked up the pic from
http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/im.../GR-368885.jpg

so I would guess Volvo Parts - Authentic OEM Volvo Parts direct from Volvo Parts Webstore | VolvoPartsWebstore.com would have the part. Around $46. This would be a good junker part, if they want less for it.

 

Number 7 in the pic is exactly what you need. You might as well pick up a new pin (part #10) at the same time (the piece that fastens the stop to the door). I changed mine (both) and my door opens smoothly once more - no noises! Picked a used stop up from a forum member - $50 is kinda steep for that bit of plastic.
