cracked door panels?!?!?

[fritobandito]

Does anyone else have two cracks in one or both of their door panels? I have two on my drivers side and my passanger side has stress marks in the same spots but nothing has cracked yet. It looks like they may have cracked when the plastic expands and contracts because of the temperature but i'm not sure. It makes me mad since I think I take really good care of my interior.

Yeah, I got one on my driver side, and im pretty anal about my car

I would think it would happen to anyone that lives somewhere where temps change alot, like me in Michigan.

I dont know what exactly the climate is like in Tx, but I think it will eventually happen to everyone

Weather here is changing constantly. One day its 100 degrees and sunny the next its 50 degrees and rainy. At least I'm not the only one.

i have a 98 bird, had it for over a month and i havent found any cracks in my interior so far, which suprises me because i have 136k on the car

I've had mine almost 2 yrs. When I first got it I guess I was so excited to have my car that I didn't notice them. It looked like the dealer tried to fix the cracks with something but it only held for so long. I really wish I had a garage to put my car in. We've been getting hail lately. Thankfully my car has avoided damage thus far. Everytime someone mentions a hailstorm is comin' I panic. Doesn't somebody make padded car covers?

i got 3 dents from our hail storm a couple weeks ago, it made me sad because i only had my car for like 2 or 3 weeks

This may point you in the right direction as to why and how to repair them

Re: cracked door panels?!?!?

A while back I paid to have my car washed and hand waxed. Twenty minutes later while I was at best buy I just happen to notice people running to their cars. I was really mad. So I looked skyward and told God to go *@!# himself a few times as I walked to my car. Then a few seconds later once I was in my car it started to hail. Only in a small area where I was(a couple of blocks). I apologized to God profusely and a shortly afterward it stopped. My car sustained no damage but that was just old testament weird. I try to watch my temper a little more now. I would certainly hate to be the only person in recent history to be smited by God.

Thanks, Wraith2097, that was exactly what I was looking for.
