As noted by others, this is a common problem. Check the archives here; it's been covered before. Instead of a metal "backing" plate I used either 3/16 or 1/4 lexan, sprayed the edges and face black, then attached it to the original surface using JB Weld. I repaired both pockets since it's only a matter of time before the passenger side fails too.

Sorry no pics - I did this repair on both sides with aluminum sheet. Maybe 1/8". Cut to fit the inside perfectly and kept a little long so I could create a right angle over the top edge so the crack was not visible. I did not have access to a sheet metal brake so I hammered the edge over a countertop until it was shaped just right, drilled the hole and then primed and painted flat black. JB welded to the plastic, being careful not to use too much because it seeps out. Used clamps to squeeze till dry.

A Dremel comes in handy for the fine shaping.

After you repair it, get a Glock, as it is a much lighter gun. The Sig is just too heavy and causes strain on that screw when the door is closed.

Like it. Have one.

Thanks for all the input. I'll post pics when I "git 'r dun".

Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know the part number for the thin rubber mat that lies flat in this compartment? I need replacements.

It took a while before I got this one... you crazy Americans

I believe that is a connector for the HIFI DSP option which nobody has

Thanks!

I shouldn't say nobody, but the consensus is it's fairly worthless. It also uses a special amp...

THE GOOD OLD AMERICAN 357 MAG IS ALSO TOO HEAVY AND TOO LARGE. I MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO THE GERMAN DESIGN TO PREVENT CRACKING.

Yep, it is the DSP processor connector.

I have the same crack on my door pocket. I was going to fiberglass the backside and "fill in" the crack on the pocket side that is visible. (I've never had it off, so I'm hoping I can get to the backside of the pocket). A little sanding and new paint. Hopefully, you'll never see the repair.
