I have the crack too. The interior has been well taken care of. I just took it to a shop for some work, left it there for a few months during the winter, and when I got it back I noticed the crack. It's on the driver's side door. Car resides in MI.

Not worth repairing and repainting yet. I do have a lifetime warantee on the work so I will have to take it back someday.
There is a lot to like about Pontiac but the bodies do suck!
BAH! I have the interior door crack too, on the passenger side. I thought that it was kind a of a weird place to be cracked, you'd have to purposefully put some kind of destructive pressure there to cuase it by hand... I figured it just happened....guess I was right!

I think it's because TA's are just so much damn faster that Maros and it's so hard to keep the doors on when we blow by you.
No for real though, Both of mine are cracked too. I've always had my car in TX prior to being stationed in Germany.
I guess a TA has to have some kind of draw back to keep it in line with Maros. Just look at the pole. TA's are kicking everyone ***!!!
So which one do you like better? TA, Camaro or Vette?
TA all the way Kid!

My cracks "developed" a few weeks ago. Or at least that's when I caught it. Pass side is about an inch or so, driver side is smaller but there's 2 there. People keep asking for pics, I guess I'll post em up when I get a chance to take them.

Looked like an interesting solution for already cracked panels.
What's the fix to prevent this? Remove the staple or what?

Great....
01 TA, my driver-side door trim is cracked @ 14K miles....
Has anyone totaled up the number of broken bits in this post? This post should be able to be leveraged against Pontiac to make them fix the issue.

Just bought a 99 TA a week ago, didn't notice the crack till I got it home 
Passenger side is all the way through, and the drivers is about halfway. Where can we buy replacement panels for these, its a horrible eyesore :-\

How many of us had it happen after taking the panel off?
