Who has had this problem? and how to fix it?

[bscottie]

you should try to find some at a junk yard, they are full of the S197s now, guess alcohol and speed has been tough on them. LOLOLOL

gorilla glue, maybe ?

That's what I was thinking. Or some slightly thinned out 30-minute epoxy. Tape it up and let it sit overnight.

I've seen people give up on glue and use screws to hold interior pieces in place. Look at a hardware store and see if you could find screw heads with a satin finish to match the dash (if you have a 1up interior upgrade dash) and run them in an even pattern on both doors. It's not for everyone, but just a thought before you spend $3-400.

Shit my driver's door just started doing it. So far I haven't tried any glue yet because I am going to take it back to the dealer since it is still under warranty. Hopefully they will replace the door panel instead of trying to just glue it back in place. Not sure if the humidity is what causes it or just the heat breaking down the glue. I'm from south Louisiana too. 1/4 mile from TPS, might ask them about it.

I don't have mine on anymore....trying an experiment....my car is there right now getting a tune and a 4R70W....

Mine did it and I did both of them this week. I did one and it came out "ok" but I had Interiors limited on Choctaw do the drivers side and it came out perfect!!
It was $120.00 out the door and worth it.

I see this a LOT on the S197s down here! It's gotta be the heat/humidity.

P.S. I will ask Zach our paint/body/interior guru about a potential fix. There's also a very nice custom interior place on Antioch that could fix them up.

a friend of mine had the same issue in his 05....not looking forward to this one.

 

[andyman]

Ok I had this same issue in my 05... fixed it the next day with gorilla glue and it's been fine for months now. Why is this perplexing so many people to the point of spending hundreds of dollars????

 

[one eyed willy]

a local guy to me had the same issue,he used contact cement and they turned out great.

as far as the plastic rivets go on the back side, you can find some fat screws at the hardware store that will fit the and use a big washer.

I've been procrastinating doing this to my car for a while. I was fortunate enough due to an accident that my passenger door got fixed for free, but now it is starting to bubble and a small piece on the bottom pop out. I got pissed and took the whole driver side door off a few weeks ago cause that was so annoying getting in and out of the car. Now there is that little flakes of foam type material getting all over my car on the inside. I've read numerous threads about glue, but I don't think it'll hold up and I have to get it just right.

Does anyone know any places that do custom door inserts? Thinking of doing like Ford Racing Blue suede.

My car in Florida had been doing that a lot in the heat. I put both sides back on once with some adhesive from advance auto but it falls right back down after a while. Its usually best to make sure all the old crappy glue is scraped off and put a nice even layer on both the door and fabric and make sure you get every edge covered. Wait till its nice and tacky and slowly but firmly press it into place.

Where did you get that done at?

I'm just my self not very good with fabric type stuff. Installed my SC, injectors, gt500 twin fuel pumps, but I'm not good with interior type stuff. The mechanical is easy for me. I wanted to see if there were any other alternatives but doesn't look like it. It won't have that "assembly line" look. It'll just annoy the shit out of me if it is even slightly off. So I think I'll have it done by a company. Any recommendations ?

out here in Dubai you can anything, i wish i can help but you are very far

 

[BoostedGT480]

have a shop here locally that redo these all the time...They told me they have done tons of Mustangs for the same reason...South Humidity sucks! oh, and your shop sucks...if they were good, they could do it

 

[rford426]

Both my doors have done it

 

[RetroGT2006]

Mine have done it as well but i followed my buddy Mike G's how to and it came out perfect and i haven't had a problem ever since!
