Reattach exterior door skin?
I had an "over-opening" of the driver's door on my '04, and I can see three spots near the top behind the door panel where the door skin has separated from the inner structure. It seems to be an easy repair, but I want to make sure I get the right epoxy/glue to hold it back together. The only issue I see is getting the glue down into that narrow spot. I've searched but haven't found another thread that has the same issue I do. Suggestions? Thanks!

I can't help on what type of bonding to use, But you can get a syringe type to get the bonding stuff down there.

UPDATE: Well, I just got some of the Loctite 5 minute set 2-part epoxy with the mixing nozzle and shot it in there, C-clamping the sections with a cloth-wrapped spacer. Seems to have worked fine for now. I'll wait to take the car out on a bumpy road for a day or two...
