Thank you guys!
They are all good ideas, and I'll start with the simplest one and work my way up if necessary.
In any way, you guys just helped me save lots of $$$......
Cheers,

I followed along some of the suggestions, I used a piece of thin aluminum sheet metal, bonded that to the back of the broken piece with JB Weld (cut to fit), drilled a new hole, sprayed it all black, and viola...been working like a charm for the past 5 years.

Cheers,

Mike

Ron,

Did my passenger door yesterday as instructed by you. Turned out great. Hope it holds!

I did mine with the bigger washer. We wil see if it holds up. Is there a 993 door pocket that isn't broken there?

I thought I was the only one with this problem, LOL. Every picture I see of a car here or for sale has seemingly nice, perfectly square pockets.

I mentioned the issue with my car to a local restoration shop and they were like "Oh, yeah, they all do that. We just tack 'em up with some aluminum stock and all is well again."

I fabricated a steel saddle that I cemented to the broken door pocket. I painted and drilled the steel piece and it has held up for the past few years.

They have all been fixed. It's just an illusion they have all been broken at one time or another.

Dave,

Would love to see a picture of your setup.

I used a product called Plast-aid. Its a pretty cool product with a lot of uses. It basically allows you to mold this soft material into any shape you want, you let it harden and then drill the hole. You can add black paint during the mixing process and get black plastic. It hardened extremely fast and extremely hard.

Here is the website.

I do like the idea of using plexiglass or solid piece of plastic, as its probably cheaper and a cleaner fix than using Plast-aid. But, i'm sure there are some other applications for this product that people might be interested in.

Jb Weld worked for me.

Here is my repair.

Good discussion, guys. I need this on my driver's side pocket.

ps...I'm also curious to hear about Ed's avatar.

My driver's side is broken but not as bad as the first car's photos show. I bought a small L-shaped flat steel bracket. I was going to paint it black and install with the lower part of the L facing forward to support that whole area. The JB weld and flat black aluminum or plexiglass fix sounds better.
