Between driving screws and super glue. Just buy a new panel. Might as well fix it the first time and not worry about the door panel coming off again. There are some cheap panels on ebay for like $35 per side. Idk if im allowed to post the link,but search ebay.

 

thanks buddy. i appreciate it. i ended up just screwing it to the door. as much as i didnt want to and after hours of looking for another way and telling ppl in here that it was a ludacris idea lol sorry again everyone.

 

Hey, just glad you were able to get it fixed. A flopping panel can be annoying. There just isn't a good way to repair this broken plastic. I tried several methods before coming to this conclusion.

Screws don't seem to be a valid solution, but short of buying new panels. sometimes it is the best of several less than desirable alternatives. I have seen some of the panels from e-bay and some are pretty close on color match and some are not. It is a gamble. Just have to be cautious and use a seller that has a good reputation.

 

i have a pretty loud system so thats why i needed it fixed asap. id have to press my leg and arm against it to keep it from vibrating the entire time. annoying like you said. im happy with the outcome and you really cant see the screws unless your looking for them.

 

All's well that ends well. Now go take your TB off and check the plenum.

 

not to sound like a dumb ***....whats that? another name for intake gasket?

 

TB=Throttle Body.

 

i knew that. idk what the plenum is

 

Oh. Gotcha.

It's the plate between the intake and the block. It has a gasket that can over time warp or blow out, causing the intake to suck oil out of the motor and into the combustion chambers.

There's a sticky at the top of the 2nd Gen Tech Section. And there's a plenum picture thread in the General Discussion section. Check em out

 

i checked them out after i posted that. i guess they fail more often then they dont?
