[QUOTE="doctor Stevil, post: 1245985, member: 19259"] Thanks for the replies. So I got out to the garage to take a few pics yesterday. Don't mind the dirt/dust, she hasn't been driven in a while. I did take a better look at the interior door panel though and it's rock solid. If I push downward, along the top of the panel, there is absolutely no give. That doesn't mean that a clip isn't missing though I suppose. Just figured it would be obvious if one was missing. If the weather is a little warmer this weekend, I'll try popping it off to see anything obvious stands out. Assuming that a missing clip is the problem and an easy fix... is there a better way to 'fix' the door skin? I don't like the idea of what looks like, gorilla glue, holding it on lol. I'm not a body repair guy so this stuff isn't my forte... but if I manage to find a silver Mustang door at a scrap yard, can I just pull it off an install it on mine? Or will I have alignment issues? I'm guessing at that point I'd be paying a body shop to do it? But alas... here it is. The first image is the outside of the door. As you can see, everything looks fairly normal.
