This used front door stop (door limiter) is a direct-fit replacement commonly used on the five‑door Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. Designed to limit the door opening angle and hold the door in intermediate positions, this part helps prevent damage to the door, hinges and nearby bodywork while allowing smooth, controlled opening. The unit is frequently searched by part numbers, so you can find the correct spare quickly using codes such as 9181T8 or 760080.

Function

The door stop (door limiter) controls the maximum opening angle of the front door and provides intermediate catch positions so the door remains partially open without swinging freely. It consists of a mechanical arm/strap and a housing mounted between the door and the body, absorbing forces during normal use and minor impacts.

Common Failure Reasons

• Wear And Fatigue: Repeated use causes internal components (plastic guides or metal strap) to wear, leading to loose or inconsistent catches.
• Corrosion: Moisture and road salt can corrode metal parts and fasteners, especially in older cars or those used in harsh climates.
• Impact Damage: Minor collisions or slamming doors can bend or break the mechanism.
• Contamination: Dirt and grime ingress can increase friction and accelerate wear.

Replacement / Installation

Typical replacement is straightforward for an experienced mechanic or competent DIYer. General procedure:

• Open the door to access the limiter area (inner edge where door meets body).
• Support the door to prevent it from sagging when the limiter is removed (use a jack or assistant if necessary).
• Remove any trim or rubber covers concealing the limiter mounting bolts.
• Unfasten the mounting bolts on the body and on the door side, then withdraw the old limiter.
• Fit the replacement part, align it in the same position and tighten fasteners securely. Check door operation and adjust if required.

Installation Recommendations

• Inspect hinge bolts and surrounding mounting points for wear or corrosion; replace corroded fasteners.
• Clean mating surfaces and apply suitable anti‑seize or light grease to moving points if recommended by workshop practice (avoid contaminating door seals or painted surfaces).
• Always support the door during removal/installation to avoid straining hinges or wiring harnesses inside the door.
• After installation, verify free movement and that the door remains secure in catch positions; adjust alignment if the door does not close or latch correctly.
• Because this part is often sold under its product number, check the code stamped on the old limiter and compare with the supplied reference (e.g. 9181T8) before fitting.

Why Replace?

Drivers usually replace the door stop when the door no longer stays in intermediate positions, opens or closes roughly, or if the limiter is visibly damaged or corroded. Replacing a worn or broken limiter restores safe, predictable door movement and prevents further stress to hinges and body panels.
