I haven't seen that setup before.....Like HT said, the ones I've seen use the door itself as the stop.
Next one I get into the shop I'm going to have to check out.
This looks like a poor design if it is using those tabs as stops. Those actuator use so much force on relearn, it's no doubt it broke....
The picture I had imagined had the stops as a little heavier duty & shorter than that.....Boy I don't know if gluing & attaching fasteners will work...
Good luck

Yikes! Ah..... suks. I'll stay out because this is going to take a lot of being there to really decide the best products to fix this. Any way to know how thick it is where you want to put a stop and what is behind it?
Just ideas: Forget glues. "SuperGlue" - JB Weld probably won't stay stuck. Hey - even I'd have to study it but would probably make a hot melted hole or two (maintains strength better than drilling) and see if you can make an "L" stop out of galvanized metal & decide on lag threaded screws or if you can thru bolt it in.
Yep - hardware store crap. There's rolled galvy strap metal with holes already in it or whatever you can find or make to work with enough clearance for the operation. Think of how hot and how cold it can get AND damp. Nothing that can rust.
I'm going crosseyed thinking Dremel tool bits and whatever but it can be done better than that OE crap design. Good luck,
T

One more and said I'd stay out. Restored stuff where love nor money was going to do. Not talking about red-necking it but make it so it will not be a problem again, that's all. Plastics are not cooperative nor most glues. Try a radiator end tank fix - won't happen........ T

Brian, don't even try to tell me that you don't have Crazy glue and JB in your tool box.
