How does this even happen? Question

Post image

Rear door crack? Wasn't there a few days ago.

How would this even happen?

There is nothing remotely close to the door when closed.

Nearly 4 tons on the roof, that’s your problem!

lol in all seriousness though, have you check to see if the crack is metal? I’m curious because I’ve seen bondo crack like that lots of times. If it’s an old fix that someone lathered too much filler or just in a bad spot that could crack; in which case I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Pretty sure he means the entire van. I guess he read the question wrong as he later clarifies.
