Last week my door hinge (not the hinges that support the door but the one that allows the door to stay open in 2 different positions, a door detent maybe?)broke off. The break occurred inside of the "B" pillar for the rear door in my sedan. My door opens easily still but swings becasue it is not held in position by this middle hinge anymore. Does anyone know if this hinge can be replaced. I would have to remove the trim on the inside of the door (b-pillar) but i am not sure if this hinge is welded in there or if it is just mounted with a fastener.
Any help would be appreciated so i don't have my kids swing the door open and slap cars next to me in the parking lot.
Thanks

Welcome to the second biggest gripe with 850's. The first being air conditioning!!
It is called a check strap and will need welding. Mine was welded a couple of weeks ago.
It started with a loud double click for a couple of months.
Fortunately for me my cousins own their own body shop, so it cost me a bag of donuts and a round of coffees.
Their normal charge would be around $80.
hope this helps.

That's funny, i thought the SECOND biggest gripe with the 850 was the
defective power seatback cable that seems to break when the seat is in its
most inconvenient position. ;)

...I Have A '95...Just Had My 2nd Hinge Welded...It's Part of Owning an 850...Both of Mine Were Done at a Body Shop that Does it for the Volvo Dealer...I Do No Know What It Entails, Other Than removing the Door, Rewelding Something, And Charging Me $160!...Usually It Warns You By Making An Ungodly SNAPPING Noise...GOOD LUCK...AL.

I'm sure we can all agree the TRACS/ABS is pretty high up there as well on the gripe list :/
