Angry Door delaminating. Fix?

So my passenger door is starting to seperate towards the back. from the window down about 6 inches. I know that this has been a common problem with many people but have never worried about. After almost 9 years and many hard mles I have to worry about it. Can I fix it as is or do I have to remove the entire panel first then rebond it. The gap is only about 1/4 inch at the widest point and i can get it to seat by pushing on it. Can I epoxy the seam/ gap and rebond it without removing the entire skin?

Yes, you can use epoxy to re-glue it back down. I did it a few months ago and it's holding up great! It may not be a permanent fix, but it'll sure make it look a whole lot better!

Epoxy? Anyone? There are only 3 dozen different types to choose from.

I used Permatex's Perma-Poxy 5 Minute General Purpose Epoxy.

I just used a clear epoxy (can't remember the brand). Use clamps and give it plenty of time to dry.
