Default ugly door pocket cracks (now with easy fix solution)

Finally decided to do remove the doorpockets to repair the crack, I have this crack on both sides in both my 911's and the previous owner didn't repair it to my taste

I'm going to make a one piece reinforcment that covers all of the area that has the crack, and glue it on.

And test fitting the new part before gluing it.
The new part follows the contour of the cracked part, and covers both top and bottom.

Are you able and willing to share the 3d print file for those of us with access, this seems like a neat bit of thing to use.

30$ a piece
but this will only fit the ones that have the s-shaped broken part, on my 74' 911 it was flat, so I don't know which years had the s-shape?
send me a pm if you want it, I will test on a couple of cars this weekend just to check tolerances.
