Crack in Barn Door - Is this a problem??

[Rusty86]

It is a common problem, I had mine repaired under warranty, they welded a small plate inside but did require the glass to be removed which is tricky as it has that rubber edging on it and thats easy to stuff up getting it out.
I never had larger than
The crack is already quite bad and yes eventually that will break through the pillar section. Only option then is replacement and theres a real chance the glass could break in the mean time (thats really big $$)

Id get it repaired, try to find out who can do it, Nissan might help finding them

How come the glass is such a hassle and expensive? Do you know what Nissan charged for the job even though it was under warranty?

I'd be inclined to fit standard tyres and hook it back to Nissans and make a lot of noise!!
The door is not standing up to it's intended purpose as far as I'm concerned.
Cheers, the ferret.

Not sure how'd I'd go at Nissan seeing as I'm the 3rd owner and car is well out of warranty (although I 100% agree this shouldn't be happening even with a slightly bigger tyre). I also don't have the standard tyres at all, so they would try and shut me down pretty quickly with the same response as 'oncedisturbed'.

nissan wont do anything for free id just look around yourself, did they give you any indication what the repairs cost? as opposed to a 2nd hand door

I havn't looked into it at all, but my car is going in for a service this week so I'll ask my mechanic what he would recommend. I would be happy just to strengthen it so there's no chance of it breaking through the pillar section, so maybe just welding a plate in as mentioned would do the trick.


Have there been any cases here on the forum where the door has actually come apart or far enough for the glass to break?

Thanks for all your responses so far, very helpful
