Looking for recommendations and or suggestions for repair of these cracks, from those who have dealt with same. This is the passenger door, worst of the two. Had already bought new hinges for both sides thinking it was the problem with the creaking... Not the case. Thx for looking and your comments...
Note: bottom hinge is first seen top hinge follows.
Yes the bottom hinge appears to be a series of spider cracks, cannot see behind the glass as the metal reinforcement plate obscures the view of the inside... Thus No idea what it looks like from the back side. The top hinge is truly cracked, about 1 inch long and 1/16 deep. When the door would open or close, it had a true "clunk" sound in two positions. Body shop is suggesting open the cracks a light bit, and filling with SMC epoxy and tying the inside plate to the door frame in two more positions (notwithstanding the four bolts for the hinges) just cannot get a picture of the inside....
From what I've learned, folks throwing the door open... Having seen the interior construction and how the C5 support structure is configured, there are allot of problem C5 doors awaiting discovery.
