If you use a metal patch on the back, it will stay. There were probably at least 20 holes on each door. I think using the 8115 was probably a better fix, as you didn't have to worry about warpage. It's funny now, but we used pennies on the backside (since they were hidden) on the holes, and cut metal patches to fill the opera lights on the pillars and the hood ornament hole. I had the car for a couple of years after that, and there was not even any minor cracking at the repair.

The instructions say to weld the replacement panel at the ends (depending on the type of adhesive bonding material used). I don't think it replaces welding completely, but used properly it works well. There are a lot of OEM applications as well.
