take the door panels off and you'll likely notice that the plastic part at the top has cracked ribs.
get some tie down straps and a thin piece of wood and put them so you tension the top of the door panel to pull the plastic pieces together
take a whole bunch of CA (crazy glue) and some fiberglass fine mesh repair cloth and glue the ribs back together and tack glue the fiberglass cloth down around the broken ribs in some strips
now take the fiberglass resin and coat the cloth and let it dry.
I did this with my 95 door panels on the ZR-1 and it worked great!!!

I am upgrading the interior to the red/black door panels and will have my 95 black panels for sale.
