Just curious.. about door hinges

[BostonNSX]

the hinges were soldered to the body... it got a crack.. what would be a possible explanetion if theres no acidents involved.?

Thankz

Well hopefully they were welded, not soldered!

It could be a bad weld, or someone could have leaned or otherwise put too much pressure on the door when it was open...

Any way reccomended to get it fixed? what would be the downside of leaving it like that? would it effect the alignments?

How about one day you go to open your door and it just falls off. That's a downside. It could put a damper on your entire day; especially if you're late for work already.

I would have a good body shop remove the door and reweld the crack on the hinge. Of course you will have to have the area repainted as well.

Otherwise just crawl through the window like in NASCAR.

i just chekced mine and there is no crack. the one thing that really annoys me is when i drive my 99 nsx, i get a annoying creaking sound coming around the drivers side window area.
