UNO, since you don't have rig ID in your sig line, I'm just gonna assume that we're talking about a 74 or older 40.
I have had several people that have had the limiter anchors tear out of their inner door skins. Difficult to weld back in place because they were originally brazed.
To get a better long term anchor [and completely avoid the booty fab] you can bend a sliightly heavier guage of metal to the shape of the door skin and tack it down over the door, increasing the surface area that the anchor has to pull on. Then I also fab my own anchors using plate washers that have been trimmed down to clear the closed door. Haven't had one of them pull out yet.

I was looking into this a while back and some had taken a door stop kit from a British car and used it. The kit came with a bitchin leather strap and fasteners.i figured for the cost, you could spend a weekend welding up one for yourself. My cheep solution was to attach a strip of nylon strap with a metal screw to the door & knot the other end so it stays put. Cheep & not OEM, but keeps the door from banging into the fender.
cheers, ty
That would work but man it looks ugly compared to the original application......
I agree about the appearance of the 'fix', but unfortunately the portion of the limiter that's attached to the door was not one of Toyota's best engineering efforts. I typically fix them by cutting out a larger section of the outer layer (about 3/4"x2") and replace it with 1/8" x 3/4" flat bar. I drill a couple 1/4" holes to spot weld to two layers together. This spreads the stress over a larger area.
It always reminded me of two washers spaced and stacked vertically.
