Default Has anyone else had this happen...

Everytime I open my door lately, I notice that the side panel in the back seat of my 01 T/A is separating from the door jamb. I can't say if it just started or if I'm just noticing it, but I want to know if there's a way to fix it permanently. Any thoughts?

Thanx

Same thing happened to me. There are little clips inside the panels, and it snaps back in place. If it comes off again (like mine did) I used a little super glue on the clips. Prob Solved!!!

Yeah, I dunno. It seems like the plastic is simply heating and cooling and becoming warpped and distorted. There probably isnt much we can do besides find a better way to fasten the panel down. Can't use screws or anything because you'll punch through the skin of the car. Maybe adding more industrial velcro would be a solution?
