If you look at this pic I took earlier, you will probrably notice ( I Hope lol ) the gap where the plastic has seperated from the side of my door.

What should I do to fix this problem? As of the moment the curve is pretty rigid and wants too keep in place.

btw- does anyone know if the car looks decent without the panel? A Pic maybe...

 

maybe some adhesive like double sided tape(auto strength) or maybe some cauking if u wanna do it ghetto style...i used some cauking when my door molding started coming off (in the middle of the door)

 

is it warped ? or just loose or ?


do you know of an old retired body man in your town ?

i have a neighbor who is and just for reasons like this


that gap definitely needs to be eliminated because waterand dirt and junk getitng inbetween it and the door will eventually cause rust and rot over time


good luck

 

hmm...its only that lower door trim gfx, i'd just pull it off and see if you can't straighten it back out. be much better than water and dirt collecting in there.

 

More on the side of warped than loose. Like i said, it has no budge to it. I'll look into it and post in a bit.

thnx for the replies.

 

I've seen this on quite a few cars. I guess whatever method that was used to attach this piece at the factory wears off over time. My Z28 had this on the passenger side and I thought it was warped out of shape but my bodyman reattached it and it looks perfect. Sorry I'm not too sure on what he used though..

 

I'll prolly just have my body friend look and re-attach it.
