You would likely need special arms for doing this. They would need to be small and pointed at the ends and maybe cranked to to fit inside the corners of the door. If you use a copper pad on a handle to go inside the door you can use a mig if you make holes in the trim to allow it to be plug welded. This trick can also be used to close small holes in panels as long as you can get the copper pad behind the hole. Welding wire doesn't stick to the copper.

The 544 has similar metal channels to hold door seals. I was forced to make new ones from 1mm sheet on a bender. I drilled them 6mm dia. every 50 mm and flood welded to door frame with Mig welder. Any excessive weld was carefully ground off with the edge of grinding disc on 4.5”angle grinder. Hope this helps.
