I recommend dealers install a piece of diamond plate behind where the strut attaches to.

What does she mean by "
behind where the strut attaches to"?
That could be interpreted a couple of ways.
On the inside of the door between the strut and the door (adding more beef to attach to)? I know people have done this with larger plates, epoxy, and more screws... Then attached the strut to that plate.
Or
On the outside of the door? An easier, (but possibly more unsightly) fix?
I've contemplated doing the latter with some 1/8" polished stainless plate.
What i did was to move my strut down 1/2" and carefully torque the screws. Holding fine so far but these doors have so little to bite into that all bets are off.
Has anyone had the factory "fix" made? Would love to see some pictures.
