Welding on door question

[PokerJoker]

Hello all,

On the right side door at the top front near the windsheild post, my weatherstripping is completely rotted away and I have some major rust damage. I've formed a new piece of steel to weld into place there. Is there anything I should know or do before trying to weld this piece into place? Is there any chance of damaging the ECM or other electronics while welding on the door? Attached are a couple of pictures that show the damage and my new piece.

Thanks for any help.

If your concerned about the ecm,pull the battery out. you only have to pull one side of the battery. just remember that there is fiberglass nearby and the resin they use for it CAN burn so be careful!!!
Good luck
