[6pack] Door Checkstrap Repair

Well, it finally happened, though without damage to the outside of the door
when it swung open. The checkstrap pivot assembly on the door broke
(partially). The DPO had welded a washer there and it borke off.

Has anyone devised an alternative without taking off the door and re-welding a
repair?

I just put my freshly painted doors back on, finessing door gaps and lots of
fiddling, and I hadn't  noticed the DPO repair.

 I'm thinking about a small flexible cable attached between a hinge bolt and
the A-post as a temporary safety measure to prevent a crease in my door. If
this works, I may do it to the other door, too.
