That is the weaker of the two mount areas.

Between myself, my dad, gradpa, and one of my dad's brothers, we've literally had probably 20 of these trucks between us. Mine is the only one that ever had a door that cracked at the hinge. Mine cracked on the DS upper hinge right along the top edge of the hinge.
