A system for attaching a door to the body of a vehicle includes an inner pillar stiffener, an outer pillar stiffener laterally outward from the inner pillar stiffener, and an outer panel laterally outward from the outer panel stiffener. The system has a standoff structure located between the outer pillar stiffener and the outer panel, a door hinge, hinge bolts for fastening the door hinge to the standoff structure, the hinge bolts received through holes in the outer panel, the holes in the standoff structure, the holes in the outer pillar stiffener, and plate nuts for securing the hinge bolts to the outer pillar stiffener. The standoff structure includes a cup-shaped body having a bottom portion, a sidewall portion, and an edge, a flange extending around the edge of the cup-shaped body, holes in the cup-shaped body, and weld collars extending inward from the holes to the outer pillar stiffener.
