Door Wont Lock (sheetmetal broke!)
Anyone ever have the rivits on the door mechanism break off? Mine broke and its sheet metal all around it is cracked really bad.. This just happened yesterday and I gotta keep the door closed using a belt!
Does anyone know where I can get a new door really quickly! Btw im in Socal.

Re:Door Wont Lock (sheetmetal broke!)
My 97 did the same thing. I got a wire feed wielder and wielded up the cracks and then put a thin piece of metal over the damage area. I then wielded the piece onto the door. I don't know how long the fix worked b/c my truck got totaled about 3 weeks later. A body shop wanted $250 for the job. I took my time with the fix and I think it would have held up.
