If you own a Porsche 993, then perhaps you've opened your door and heard a clunking noise. Look down towards the A-pillar, and the hinge for the check strap is probably broken. While it may look like a simple fix, it is, in fact, quite involving, requiring the removal of the door, welding, priming, and painting. Though this isn't really a DIY sort of fix, watch the video to learn the correct way to fix the problem if your 993 is afflicted.

If you decide to do this repair, you’ll need to take precautions before welding (as on any modern car). Disconnect the modules (computers) that you can easily get to, mainly the DME (Digital Motor Electronics). If you do not disconnect the modules, add a large capacitor to protect them. Leave the battery connected as well, because it also acts like a large capacitor.
