From what I've been told you can't just weld at the crack from the outside, there's no support, just that metal that's cracked is there. To support it you have to go inside and put a piece of iron there behind the crack and weld it to the door frame over the crack, from the inside. If you do try to weld the crack itself, it will just start cracking again. I was told it's a bit tricky but they have done it before many times. With the piece of iron supporting , should last pretty much its' lifetime.

I guess I could just let it go and if it (the door) eventually starts to fall off, a few bunji cords might help. (Isn't that what they all a "red-neck" fix??)

Anyway I do appreciate all of your input.

Actually, our Volvo has no 'flaws', it just tests our ingenuity to keep us on our toes.
