My door broke

Not sure how the hell this happened, but the sheet metal in my door tore off around a bolt. The bolt is sort of staying in place but is making all kinds of Edit noise. Any one know what this is attached to before I tear my door open? would I be fine just JB welding it back into place or something quick and easy like that? It's the bottom bolt on the rear facing side of the door

That's either holding the latch in place or the back of the window trac as far as I can tell from lookin at mine.

I think it is the back window track, mine did the same thing. I started having problems with the window going up and down very slow and not going all the way up before I noticed that was the problem. I welded a small steel plate in it's place, but a few rivets/screws would hold just as good. I wouldn't use something like JB weld for that, not much for it to grab on to.
