Eventually that thin fender will fatigue and they will sheer off and then he will have to bolt up a 2x4 to it to remount the hinges.

guess that explains why it's a bad thing to back up with the door open. rips it right off the hinges.

That's just sad IMO. If you can't fix it right, don't attempt to fix it.
