2) Door stays
Reading it back, perhaps I failed to make myself clear. I wrote about htsi before, again...
The door stays don't corrode, they wear and make the doors 'pop' under the strain. This eventually cracks the 'A' pillar, which can't be sorted without welding. This wrecks the ductility of the sheet steel and the galv. It starts to rot. The weld cracks again, which has to be welded a second time. The end result is a pig's ear.
Catch it early and the fix is eBay's finest door-stay for £12 - five minutes with two nuts and a 10mm spanner.
