Hi guys, odd problem and I'm looking for some ideas.

 

On my drivers side panel were the door hinge bolts to has 2 cracks causing clicking and rattling sounds. On top of that it can only get worse and I'm looking for some ideas for a fix.

 

I have some pics below. Thanks in advance

That looks to me to be the catch on the car b pillar not door itself?

 

Yes its the part on the pillar with the Door open sensor on it...

 

thats a strange thing to happen I would imagine that would need cleaning and welding but it will make a mess which will need respraying again..

Its probably happened over time, that's the door striker isn't it? takes a lot of battering so I imagine the shock going through that metal over all the years has caused it. Supras are built like all other cars and will age like all other cars unfortunately :(
