More accurately, below the vent-window post. This is caused by pulling on
the went window post to close the door. A well-known Twin Cities MGB
expert who also believes this told me he never does this. I have watched
him do it several times, and bring it to his attention. He then tells me
that he did not do it. It is that subliminal. So have your friends
watch you to see if you have this destructive-to-MGBs habit.
Once the crack starts, it can be made worse if you have a door-mounted
mirror. I rode with guy in a rubber-bumper B that had the Crack of Doom
in a big way. When we got on the highway, you could not see in the
mirror, it shook so bad. I told him to get the mirror off until he could
get the door re-welded before the crack went all the way down the door!
