Default Outer door skin coming off...

The outer door skin on the driver's side door of my 94 Z28 is coming off at the rear edge. Anyone seen this before? How much is this going to coat me to get it fixed, est.?

Thanks

The same thing happened to my 93' Z28. At first I took it to the body shop and they quoted $400 which sucked. Then I took it to the dealership and they repaired it for about $50

Happened to me, it's pretty common. Used 2-part epoxy and it came apart again after a few years. Then, one of my buddies who works at a body shop used a glue that they use (supposedly recommended by manufacturers) and that damn thing is ridiculous! It's only been a couple months so I can't say much, but I feel its a better product.

i DO work at a body shop, and a T/A came in before i even owned one, we took the door off, cleaned and sanded the area where it came apart and used a factory approved adhesive to bond the panel back together. basically, take it to a GM or GMC dealer that has a body shop.
