if you want to know exactly what is going to be done, why not contact the repairs shop? Seems like you would get the exact information that you want.

Should have clarified - looking for a DIY solution. The last thing I'd want to do is call a business and waste their time if I wouldn't be a paying customer (in my case, I'm in Canada, shipping door panels to FL doesn't seem super practical)

 

This is a very reasonable price if it is truly a permanent fix and doesn't hinder the airbag deployment. Any other members have feedback or this repair?

 

This also seems to be a heat issue, the inside of the car gets hot from sitting out in a parking lot, etc., and the adhesives are letting go. I have has my panels replaced under warranty, but my CPO expires end of March. My plan right now is to open the windows somewhat when temps get higher in late spring and summer, to keep the internal cabin temperature down, and perhaps make sure its parked in the shade.

 

Not related, but I left my GT3 in a covered airport parking lot for 3 days, but on the end spot, so it wasn't totally covered. Had my parking lot card and credit card in the sunvisor and they melted and deformed! Was able to iron them back flat with an iron and a towel, and miraculously, they still work!

 

Interested in this as well. Hope someone has tried this repair and can provide feedback.

 

I think a repair done in this manner will affect air bag deployment. They glued the area of the panel that is designed to break when the air bag deploys. Notice the black fillet of glue wrapping up the inside curve.

 

Has anyone tried just removing the panel and using fabric adhesive where the separation is occurring? Even if not permanent - isn’t that better than risking an airbag issue? Maybe I’m missing something.

 

The airbag on these cars comes out of the seats, so no risk there when replacing door panels.

 

thats what I did. And it helped on my passenger door. You can barely tell there is separation. But when hot, plastic frame still bulges out.
decided to use different glue on driver aide and it disnt hold.
Now thinking of how I can remove residue from bad glue and go back to one that worked.

 

I think we have another airbag in the door too, based on this dock.
