That depends on what you mean. The 1st thing is to add the helper struts
to the front of the door if they are not already on there.
The doors have a habbit of cracking the metal on the rear of the door where
it transistions from verticle (side) to horizontal (top). To fix this,
remove the door skin. Once the skin is removed you will see that there is
sort of a valley on the inside of the door frame. A plate is cut to fit
inside that valley and goes back across the top and down the sides about
4" each. Once cut, shaped, and fitted, this stiffening plate is welded to
the inside of the door frame and the skin is reattached.
