Creaking sound from RH Passenger side solved! - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Thanks to the M1R for helping me solve this annoying noise. Last night I came home from a long 12-hour shift at work and decided to look at the area pointed out in previous posts. Although I couldn't tell anything was wrong visually, I decided to go ahead and jam a washer in the seam between the top of the RH fenderwell and the rear seat support bracketry (despiration had set in). During the drive to work this morning, I was amazed that a 10 cent washer fixed that annoying azz creaking/cracking sound. I would like to know if there's a way to permanently fix this defect. From previous reading it's blamed on a spot weld that I can't even see. I'm considering just leaving the washer jammed in there and seal the seam area with some sort of rtv or foam filler. Thoughts?
