Default Drivers side door outer skin separating...

...at the upper rear of the door (around the door handle of course.) It has pulled out from underneath the weatherstripping against the door glass and moves a good deal every time I open the door.

What holds this skin on? Anyone know? Is it riveted? Some type of epoxy? spot welded? Just so I know what to have available when I go to pull the interior off and do a fix.

Thanks,
Jay

When I took my passenger side door apart to check window motor , it look to be held together by a few screws and velcro strips. Maybe one side of your velcro strip just wore out /unglued and became unattach and you just need some epoxy to reattach. :auto:
