Door hinge section fastened to sheet metal has failed on drivers side. Failure is structural tear causing movement of door control component of drivers door hinge (between two major hinges). Component moves flexing section of door frame about 1 1/2 inches long as door is opening and closing, causing expansion of metal tear.
