have you got the infamous crack yet? if so any ideas on the replacement/fix for it. i have thought about doing the 4th gen hatch. wanting to know if anyone has tried it or know anyone that has.

i thought about the bondo but someone said it may not react good with florida weather. gotta remember it rains like a SOB and is blistering hot down here

 
how did you all get it? from music or just from slamming it shut?

I use the upper portion of the back door a lot and never saw this crack before. Now I think I got to be careful just in case. Im still under warranty as well.

 
Why would you bondo it without doing anything else, then when it cracks the bondo it will look worse.

You need to brace it from the inside with a piece of steel welded in there, then bondo and paint it or weld it and paint it so it wont crack in that spot again. I know Florida weather is crazy but im sure people that know what they are doing can do bondo right, there is a lot of classic cars down there and i know not all of them are done right.
