1999 S70 In search of rear passenger door in 426 Silver Topic is solved

Not sure I know what a Milgram ship is. Lol I can find a place here if you can’t get it until July though. Anyway, do you need both doors or just the passenger rear? Also, can the harness to the door by the hinge be cut for easy removal?

There is a small setscrew holding the moldex plug in place; it's been a while since I fooled with that part of the car, but I think it then rotates a few degrees and unplugs. You'll need torx for the hinges - again, don't recall the number.
Are you actually in Richmond ? Do you ever trek slightly North ? (Naturally, I just looked at your sig.)
I'm in DC at the moment, and might be involved in a parts handoff with Dr. Abscate shortly. Maybe PM him and see about logistics.

Milgram is the guy who discovered we are 5 degrees separated , probably closer now? You pass to a friend, who passes it on, etc. I’m actually Milgram shipping some VW back up north while Milgraming a transmission on this trip

Only the rear passenger door needed.

You remove the small torx set screw and then unscrew the big connector with slip joint pliers to save retiring the whole door…

Check your Pm box , let’s connect on text

Well, isn’t that smart of them, adding a connector by the door hinge. Once I get it I can meet someone in Fredericksburg or the exit south of it which is the Thornburg exit. Depending on my work schedule, I’ll see if I can get it this week. They close at 5p. Certainly this weekend. We can take this to PM now.

** I think this is the place ** Lol
