Description
Door limiter and hinge for the left rear door for PEUGEOT 207 vehicles. Color EXL – Obsidian Black Paint. Rear door behind the driver.
This replacement door limiter/hinge is designed for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who need a reliable, direct-fit part for the Peugeot 207. Supplied with the manufacturer code 9037C1 and color designation EXL (Obsidian Black), this component restores correct door stopping, controlled opening angles and smooth closing action. Ideal when the original limiter shows play, binding or causes the door to swing too far or not hold in intermediate positions.
Function And Benefits
The door limiter (door check/strap) together with the hinge secures the left rear door in defined open positions, prevents overextension and reduces stress on the door hinges and body mounts. Replacing a worn or damaged limiter returns correct door positioning, removes rattles and improves user safety when entering or exiting the vehicle. Key benefits include:
- Direct fit to Peugeot 207 left rear door (driver side rear).
- Restores stable door stop positions and prevents uncontrolled opening.
- Painted EXL Obsidian Black to match factory finish for visible areas.
- Useful spare for bodyshops and maintenance garages handling door repairs or accident repairs.

Compatibility
Fits left rear door of Peugeot 207 models where original part is specified by code 9037C1 or matching EXL paint variant. Suitable for replacement on vehicles with the same mounting geometry and door design. Always verify part code before installation if available on the original part.
Replacement Procedure (Summary)
Recommended for trained mechanics or competent DIYers with proper tools. General replacement steps:
- Open the left rear door and support it to prevent accidental movement.
- Remove interior door trim in the area of the limiter to access mounting fasteners and any electrical connectors (speakers, courtesy lights) if present.
- Unscrew the limiter mounting bolts on the door and body pillar. Retain original fasteners if reusing.
- Fit the new limiter in the correct orientation and tighten fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended torque settings.
- Reinstall door trim, test door opening/closing and check stop positions across full range of motion. Confirm absence of noise and proper engagement in each detent.
Recommended Installation
Perform installation on a level surface with the appropriate hand tools and torque wrench. If the door contains airbags, speakers or electrical connectors, isolate the battery before starting work and follow manufacturer safety procedures. After fitting, verify door alignment and function; if door sag or hinge wear is present, address hinge mounting points as well.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Wear From Repeated Use: Mechanical detents and moving surfaces wear over time causing play or loss of holding force.
- Corrosion: Water ingress and rust can seize the mechanism or degrade the metal, especially in older vehicles or in regions with road salt.
- Impact Damage: Side impacts or slamming can bend or break the limiter or its mounting points.
- Paint/Coating Damage: Loss of protective paint (including visible EXL finish) accelerates corrosion of the exposed parts.
Part number and color code (9037C1, EXL) are commonly used when searching for replacements—include these codes in your search to find matching units quickly.
