[Vwdiesel] Broken door hinge - 85 Jetta

[Shawn Wright]

I confirmed today what I've been suspecting - the crunching noise opening 
the driver's door is not a door catch lever, but actually a broken hinge weld. :-(
Where the lower hinge is welded to the door, it appears the weld is cracked, 
allowing for 1/16" movement in/out when the door is closed. Has anyone 
seen this before? Any ideas how to fix? I'd rather fix it *before* the door falls 
off...
