Best way to repair/replace the plastic welds?? I’m almost tempted to run a couple of rounded-top bolts (I forget their actual name) thru and use a washer and nylon nut to hold in place. Would look pretty hanky, but maybe if I did the same on both door panels it would look more like it belongs? Or am I just trying to convince myself of a bad idea?!! LOL

are you trying to separate the two halves of the door or what are we doing?

No, I’m trying to reconnect the metal piece to the plastic. The 2 black, plastic (round) welds are missing…
I have a plastic welder that I’ve used with staples but that was plastic to plastic. This is metal to plastic

I was over-torquing the screw right above the metal plate, which is where the clip clips in to the metal plate. As a result, over-tightening it was forcing the plate downward. Finally realized this, loosened it out to “snug”, keeping the plate level and in the clip went (no problem). ++
