waynekarnes Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 hmm, last message didn't post. try again. 73 240z. previous owner, hatch back support strut stuck in open position at mall. kind hearted stranger offered assistance. slammed hatch shut. ripped the strut support off the body ( part inside the car, near the suspension strut tower ) not at the hatch. anyone ever repair one of these ? welding the only option ? thanks, wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 This was a very common problem on some chrysler minivans if they didn't have the proper recall done in a timely manner. You're going to need a welder to repair it if you're wanting your repair to last at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 that's what i was thinking. welding. didn't want to have to remove interior panels. afraid of breaking em. inside car is almost perfect. i bought from 2nd owner. 1st owner was a woman. 2nd a woman. other than occasional drive by husbands. the women were the only drivers. she kept interior spotless. still smells like a new car inside. garaged since new. guess i will have to use a broom stick until i get the nerve to remove the panels. thanks, wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Can you show some pics of the damage, maybe this way people will be in a better position to offer advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
