On Eliza, even though they were new (NOS) both the lower brackets on the
rear channels snapped.
Too much stress I suppose (possibly faulty installation). And in any case a
sucky design (IMHO)
Anyhoo, I JB welded a 1/4 inch square piece of steel bar into the bend
(joint) and it seems to have strengthened it immeasurably. Flexing (if any)
now occurs away from the bend.
I have only put the driver side back together and it closes with a VERY
satisfying 'thunk', almost as good as a Rolls. No rattle, just the sound of
the door lock engaging.\
Just a thort.
