We need a door post passenger side rear door. Urghhh the post is cracked and being pot metal we can not weld it. Any suggestions on where to get one, or how to repair the one we have?

Thanks Folks!

Country Girl,
A picture of the piece you're looking for might help the search, or ideas about a fix. I, for one, have no idea what this "door post" looks like (a door post sounds like an integral part of the door, forming the window surround).

if you can not find any one i could weld it its a 50/50 deal with pot metal .but the Crown Royal Kirkrod is made for this type of party

I will get a picture this morning for you, Thanks

We did have someone try and weld it, NOT. It's cracked right in half so we thought it would be the good 50, but of course it's the bad 50. I may let you have a shot at it though. I'm guessing we should have sent the Crown with the part. LOL Is a Kirkrod a special kind of welding rod or part of the humor? Thanks so much for the offer!

Yes it does form the window surround. Thanks again!

But it's not a structural piece, right? Just pot metal trim to seperate the glass and add a chrome accent? Not a big deal, I'm probably the only one who does not understand the part you're describing.

Crown is the maker of the welding rod
