Door Pannel interior plastic cracking? Anyone know how to fix?
Mine's a 4th gen, if it matters
Anyone else have this problem? Little tiny cracks that start in the plastic door pannel on the inside?
How the heck can you stop this, and does anyone have a good way of repairing them?
I tired some superglue, but that ended up being a bad idea.

It seems like a common problem on the T/As. Both of my door panels are doing it and while I was looking I came across 3 more cracking in almost the same place at the top of the panel. Anybody have any ideas as to why?

As far as the crack at the top of the panel, there is an article in HPP that addresses this. It has to do with the way the factory attached the weatherstripping. Some how it stresses the panel and over time will cause the panel to crack. They have a fix for it involving removing some rivits and replacing with different hardware. Maybe the August issue? I'll look for it.
