Whay Jerry said. All of ours pulled off the first two weeks we had the trailer. I too used 4X4" box covers, large rivets to hold in place until Silicone set up. No way they are ever coming off. The strut brackets are bolted to the plates from the under side before installing on the door. Added an angle bracket for more strength. Over 6yrs and still there. All doors done.

I wonder if they are still falling off the new ones.
