Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MAKES LOUD POPPING NOISES WHEN OPENED, CLOSED. MIDDLE DOOR HINGE (LARGER ONES ABOVE AND BELOW; LOCATED JUST BELOW WIRING HARNESS) HAS BROKEN AWAY FROM FRAME OF CAR BODY BECAUSE OF FAULTY WELDING. ORIGINALLY, I THOUGHT NOISE WAS "SQUEAKY" DOOR HINGE AND LUBRICATED THE HINGE WITH SILICONE SPRAY. BUT WHEN THE NOISE GOT WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AND FOUND THAT THE BODY FRAME HINGE HAS BROKEN AT THE POINT WHERE IT WAS WELDED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN 40-PLUS YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP. I HAVEN'T REPAIRED IT YET BUT ASSUME IT WILL HAVE TO BE REWELDED, BASED ON INFO I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET POSTED BY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THIS MANUFACTURER. *NM
