Mine had the spot welds break and the strap rattled every time I opened the drivers door. I was careful and babied the door for a whole year. I finally had both door strap brackets welded on the outside and then ground to a smooth "fillet". It was then painted to match the car color and I have to say, in my opinion, looks better than original.

I am noticing alot of flexing on the a-pillar bracket that the strap attaches to. Is this what you had welded?
