Are you talking about the whole door panel? Or a piece of molding along the outside of the door (didn't notice if you have a camaro or pontiac...I know the pontiacs have the strip of molding.). If you're talking about the molding, then yes..it's just glued on. If your talking about the whole door itself...being glued on just doesn't sound right to me.

My 94 did that and it had not been in a wreck. I mixed some good epoxy (stuff I had for glueing on golf heads) and poured it down the seam. Then I used some C clamps with some padding and held it together for a night. Be careful not to glue the padding to the door. Did this about 4 years ago and it's still holding. My 01 has not had this problem yet.

it is the whole door panel on the outside. some of my friends have told me to jb weld it and use c-clamps to hold it untill it dries. i believe this should work. ill get a whole new door later down the line probably. thanks again
