What year is it? There was a recall on some. You need a new door post to fix it, which is a fair job....

It has come unwelded, but there do not appear to be any holes in the underlying metal... It's like the original weld didn't have proper penetration... I'm thinking that I'll need to put a wooden block underneath the door to ------ the force a bit and then use a hydraulic jack to lift up on it until the weld goes back into place... Then, re-weld it in place... |

Then, re-weld it in place... The ones I am thinking about had rotted door posts so the welds let go from them. My source didn't show a recall on the 95. Mike |
