Description of the problem | 1995 ford windstar - sliding door top forward bracket attach point. 1) the metal around the attach point on the door shows stress cracks on all four sides and the metal under the paint is buckling. The location of the bracket below the door seal may allow rain to pool up on the bracket support and cause the supporting metal to rust and separate from the vehicle. 2) door is rattling and is in danger of falling off.
