Seems like that is needed to take some of the strain off of the inner door skin.
Thanks, If you look at the pictures you can see 4 shiny spots on the side of the door. That is where I had already ground down the 4 welds. Also in the first picture you can see where I circled all the spot welds I could find with a Magic marker, I also added a weld further twards the center of the door where there had not been welds before in hopes to spread the force out some, which is represented by the circle I drew kinda off by itself with a tiny question mark by it.
