Take it to the dealer and see if they can do something about it.

Go to a dealer or a competent body shop and have them clean and reglue the door skin to the frame. This is a common problem that is easily repaired. Hell if an Fbody is ever rearended hard enough the actual door skins pop off during the accident.

If its still under warranty, the dealership should fix this for free.

just take it to a body shop, my last z28 had the problem. They fixed my passenger door for like $30 or something, not bad. And its from slamming the doors is what they told me, sounds like a good reason seeing as that it was my passenger door b/c i never slam my own doors lol

I've had the same problem on both of my fbody's. First 94 z28, and now my 94 formula. What I used was, JB Weld. Works like a charm, it'll never peal back again. Sand it down after it dries, repaint it, and you're good to go. JB weld costs what, $4?
