Outer skin on door is coming off.

Is it common that the outer skin of the door on 3rd gens to come apart? Mine has started to come off a bit in the corner. Anyone else having this problem, if so is there another fix besides replacing door.

Re: Outer skin on door is coming off.

clean it really well. Then epoxy it together. Make sure to seal it so that it does not rust. A picture would be a big help though

Re: Outer skin on door is coming off.

Iether get a welder and do some sheet metal work. Or you can order a door skin from year one and weld on a small peice on your "inner" door part. Also call your local junk yards becuase doors are cheap i bet you could find one for like 50 bones
