Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The tack weld that holds the hinge side of the door to frame of the jeep, over time became looser and looser. i realized the door didn't seem to fit as tightly, but i didn't appreciate how much it corroded until it collapsed, totally separating that section from the body of the car. the covered hinge is still holding the door in place, but without the uncovered hinge bracing the door, the door closes, but during driving-gusts of wind can separate the top of the door framing the window from the car. *ak
