What I did was to put a plate of steel behind the crack. I drilled
a half dozen holes in the doorskin on both sides of the crack, and
plug welded through them to attach the plate.
Then weld up the crack, also welding it to the plate in the process.
The welded up crack will hold, because the plate takes the
"design defect" stress off the area.
