Great attention to detail here. My ribs are cracked in the middle and I am going to use your welding method to address them. I may do the end bracket as well but for simplicity I will probably opt for a speed clip Again outstanding work!!
My cracks were at the joint of the fins and the panel. I was perplexed until I watched your video. Literally went to Harbor Freight and back, plugged it in and repaired the door in less than 2 hours. You saved me a TON of headache. Thanks for the great tip-!!!
Mine has same problem I just haven't pulled it apart yo see what it needs. Now I know what to expect. A few extra screws doesn't hurt as long as it functions. Thanks for the video.
nice repair. and also for 1990 : ) My ribs are good but if I was doing that repair I would just unload a couple tubes of jbweld and dump it on those cracks, which I'm doing instead for the busted fastener piece at 1:26 and 3:04
It's been a year since I did the repair and it is holding perfectly. I don't anticipate any problems. It is stronger now than when it left the factory. It was a bad design from GM right from the get go!
