    A car wash hyperextended my front door. The pillar bracket is loose.
    Is that a weld or a fastener? How is that area accessed? Oh, man, I
    need help.

    In an earlier contribution to this discussion,
    Do you mean the pillar end of the door check-strap?

    If so, the bracket is held onto a weld-nut in the pillar by a Torx-40
    screw - which you may be able to tighten with the correct torx bit and a
    square-drive T-bar or ratchet wrench (needs quite a lot of torque). Just
    pull back the rubber boot to get at the screw head.

    If the weld nut has come away, or if the pillar is cracked, it's a welding
    job, I'm afraid.

    Recently had the same problem the check stop weld was broken and had to
    have a bodyshop welding job done at a cost of £100 (US$185)
