That is the spot. Mine was cracking out from the corners. I did it the easy way - took it to an auto body shop I use. They welded and repainted it for me gratis [but I am a regular customer]. Guy sanded to bare metal and welded up the cracks, then painted the area [not a great paint job, but also not exactly visible most of the time]. The price was right.
