It's no wonder those flimsy factory provided plates rip off of the door...the door is nothing more than foam skinned with a thin layer of cheap a$$ luan plywood...it's a wonder it lasted a year....

Got my 6x8, 3/16" aluminum plates...gonna epoxy them on and use new screws just to hold the plate in place while the epoxy dries. The vinyl that covers the inside of the door is securely glued to the luan, so it should be safe to epoxy the aluminum to the vinyl. We'll see.

Regards
