Default is yours like this?

hey, i got a 99 z28, just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem. open your door and look at where it closes. now look at that plastic piece thats on wall of the back seat, the sail panel i think its called. anyway its suppose to hook over a black rubber peice thats in the door jam, and mine never stays on. i wack it back into place, but evertime i close the door it pops back off. i mean its not hurting anything, it just pisses me off and want to know if anyone elses car is like this

there should be several spots inside that piece that attach to the actual side, take it off and make sure its on right!

Actually, they "fixed" this problem after the 99 or 00 model year, by adding an additional screw mount in one of the speaker mounting holes on that panel. It may be an easy do-it-yourself fix, but I'm not sure... :shrug:

Ive just said the hell with it and leave it with the gap. only time I fool with it is when the car is at show, then i hook it back and it stays for the day. It used to bother me when i had my 99. Then i noticed my 00 had the same prob and gave up.

My 02 WS6 does the same thing except it wont stay even when I put it in the proper place, it just goes right back.

frustrating

My '01 does the same damn thing, ..., both sides, ...

There is a fix to this, that someone had made a web page where they took the panels off, added velcro with the sticky back underneath, then reapplied the panels, claiming they won't pop out again, ...

If I find the link, I'll edit this post later, ...

The was a thread with instructions on where to place the screw behind the speaker cover. Maybe someone will post the link. I still need to fix mine.
