My door is coming apart at the seam by the hinge where the front panel folds over the rear and is attached there somehow. It's been welded before and the paint patched from the heat, but the body shop says they want $500 to fix it. They would weld it and paint the whole door. Auto wreckers want $300 for the door and painting would be extra. Checked out one at the wreckers and it had the same problem. Might be best to weld the old one up solid and paint it rather than get a new one and have the same thing happen. Body shop says they fix about 4 of these a year. Anyone have experience with this?
