Wish I could offer some info there - both of my Gen I's have that
problem and I never bothered to try and fix it... since there were
usually bigger problems to fix heh. I doubt any kind of plastic weld or
even epoxy would be hold up long term, given the stress the panels are
subjected to.
I seem to recall seeing a while ago - some company somewhere that sold
after market door panels. But seeing as our trucks are getting older and
fewer - they might not be available anymore.
