 Topic: Door panels loose up by the window
Posted: August 26 2009 at 6:25pm |
|
Are there clips or something that wears out over time on the door panels? They dont seem to have anything to hook on to. They are attached tightly at the bottom of the door.

What year car is it?
The plastic, upper trim(built-in clips) breaks over time, and the top part of the door panel will flop...my passenger side is broken, so it rattles, and drives me nuts!

Hey you fine folks, flandy 54 here. I have the same situation with my 96 lt4 on the drivers side. Does anyone have a manual that shows how many screws and push in fasteners are used to hold a C-4 door panel on? Kinda looks like you undu the bottom and slide the top down into some kind of retainer on the door once you get it in the backside weatherstripping ,then do the lower retainers. Anyone have ant ideas. Thanks-Flandy.

On my 95, it's 5 on bottom, 1 in the armrest, then 3 in the handle assy (bezel). Be careful with handle assy, don't force out, pry it gently, there is a connector for courtesy light back there plus window controls. Then you can jockey the whole panel up and out. You might as well replace window wipers while you have it apart and tighten the mirror.

Hi folks, flandy here. I got mine to stay in place on Tues., I was able to pull the panel uo abd over the steel door frame. Then I was finally able to get the top of the panel to seat over the metal retaines in the door. The hardest part was to get the panel to seat in the weatherstrip. Didn't have to move a screw or retainer, just a small slotted screwdrive to open the weatherstrip. Once in place just push down to seat, I got lucky, Thank-God. Good to go-Phil

Hi there, I have the same problem with my '89 Conv. Someone tried to take the door panel out with a crowbar I think. Anyway, they broke the top plastic trim pretty badly and now I cannot get it to stay in place. I found an outfit that sells the trim for a Coupe but not for a Conv. Just how much different are they ? Anyone else been able to find replacement parts ? Thanks..
