Door panel seam separation — warranty repair

Tags: #door-panel · #warranty · #dealer · #low-confidence

One owner reported door panel separation — insufficient sealant between the outer and inner door panels degraded over time, causing the seam to open. The dealer warranty repair involved: disassembly from both the interior and engine-bay sides, resealing the panel joint, and reassembly. The owner noted this disassembly is a convenient opportunity to add sound-deadening material to the door while it's already open ¹²³.
