Default Door Panel Problem

On my '77 the front top corner of the passenger door panel pops off alot. I take the panel off put it back on and then like a week later it will pop off again. I dont know if the metal that "clips" it on on top is bent or what. I cant tell. Any help would be appreciated.

Sure sounds like the panel is tweaked in some way. It is (obviously) not normal for them to pop off. That steel piece on top should be very rigid.

It may just be that the prior owner abused it. Maybe someone on the Forum has an old door panel you could try (even if it is the wrong color or torn) just to be sure that is the problem. I actually have old ones, but I believe your 77 is different than my early '76.
