Cracked upper door panels? Is it worth replacing them, or is it going to happen again

I thought about sanding the backside where it cracks on a non cracked panel, and plastic welding additional material to strengthen the area.

There is a write up on here for how to fix and/or prevent it. Been a while since I have seen it, but it is here.

I would replace it and do what the write up says to prevent it.. If you care that much.

The cracked doorpanel stickie is the third topic on the home page for "Pontiac Firebird 1967-2002" that precedes this page.
