Default 1994 Door panels

On my 94 corvette my door pannels seem loose. They have a gap, I can push them to where there is no gap but then they go back. Can I tighten them? If so how? Or do I just need new panels? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The gap you are talking about is at the top? If so and all the screws are in then you will need to remove panel and look at the back plastic ribs for cracks. You may want to search on here some before that. Alot of information on this repair. Dave

on my 94 I took the door panels off. then drilled two small holes on a slight angle just under the inside window sweep front and back on each door, then put in two screws about two inches long so they would hook over the door frame. they are completly hidden by the thin lip on the window sweep. It works great and has been years.

The gap is actually on the side. The top looks good.
