The WIND Broke My Jeep. (www.youtube.com)

I'm trying to get back into the swing of YouTube so I put this together as a way to refamiliarize myself with Premier Pro. Wind during a recent haboob pulled the dang door out of my hand, thrashing the limiting strap, bending the bracket it attaches to, and bending the body seam of the door so much that the paint cracked.

That is some bad quality parts...never ever had something bend like that on my '97

my guess is there was probably a ton of force since the door got pulled from nearly closed to fully open (actually past that point, obvi) at like 70mph. it made an absolutely horrendous sound and i had assumed the door actually folded since it was moving so fast. I think the only reaso it survived is because it thankfully smashed up against a gigantic nylon clamp that i had on my farm jack instead of just smashing directly against the fender
