I also had problems with the original aluminum plates bending, then tearing off the storage doors.
Mine were repaired/replaced by my selling dealer using parts (steel plates) supplied from the factory. This was done in 2006 and are still solid. The adhesive used is SIKAFLEX. That is some extremely tough stuff.
The factory supplied me with all of the plates, shocks, hardware and screws to put gas shocks on the front storage door under the overhang. A big plus for me.
I also replaced all of the shocks with "weaker" models to lessen the stress on the mounting points. They hold up the doors w/o problem.
