Door carpet seperation
My passanger side lower door carpet is seperating from the door panel on my 1984. Is there a way to refasten the carpet to the door panel if so what the best product?

Common problem.
The tech service bulletin says to use 3M trim and emblem adhesive.
( available in tube or aerosol spray)
It can be done with the panel installed on the door but you have to be carefull not to over apply the glue (or it oozes out) and hold the carpet in place until the glue tacks up.
The better way is to remove the door panel, lay it flat, apply the glue and use something flat and heavy to hold the carpet in palce while the glue sets-up
