3850FL Door Problem

I have a 2014 Montana 3850FL. At the top of doors on the outside is a pneumatic arm that restricts movement when opening the doors completely. Holding this arm are two brackets (mounted on the exterior), one mounted to the body, one mounted to the door. The mounts bear a fair amount of stress and one of the brackets that attaches to the door itself actually pulled off of the door. The screws that Keystone had mounted it with were not heavy enough so I put in larger diameter stainless screws and finished them off with Loctite red. The bracket again is loosening up with he screws pulling out. My guess is that the brackets are not attached to anything structural in the door. The brackets are the only way the door is secured in the open position so just taking them off is not an option. I do have some photos of this but I do not know if I can attaché them here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
