In stripping some of the paint in my driver’s door jamb area I came across this stress crack just below the rain gutter (see link). Is this a common area to crack? Has anyone else had this?

Yep My elky has it. Car was once a vynil top model.
My 442 also had it before repaint. Usually filled with lead. At least on my Olds they were filled with lead
BTW picture is too big cant really tell the area of the car its on

Thanks Phil,
Sorry about the picture, I will try to get a better one. The area is the driver’s side upper door jamb, where the upper rear of the door comes in, I think right where a vinyl top trim would go. Will a good weld all the way to the start of the crack solve the problem? Or what was your fix?

Thanks,
