When i got my '92, the driver door had this really annoying rattle going that would not stop. So i just opened it to see what was causing it (Thinking it was just a loose bolt or something simple) and found that the inside was split.
I can't afford a door at the junkyard, so i figured i could just have my friends dad weld the crack. I'm just wondering if that would be a safe idea, since i have power windows and locks.
Crack is just above the window motor's mount, started in that indented part apparently.
