I didn't seem to find any threads here that dealt with this.

Thx.
I have a set I was going to install, but then I wondered what was worse, the hinge contacting the body, or the screws holding the straps to the thin fiberglass door shell getting ripped out instead. I don't know the answer to that yet. Anyone? There seems to be no really solid thick place to screw these straps solidly into the door, or even the body for that matter..
