Door panel flex when pulling doors shut???
The Aspens doors are like garage doors, so you would thing that the handle you pull on to close it would be solid as a rock. Mine seems to flex the door panel out between 1/4 - 1/2" when I pull the door closed.
Is this typical or do you think I have a missing (or worn) nylon pin. You know, those ribbed white pins that wear out when you take the door panel off 1 too many times. I've only had the car a few weeks and haven't had the door panel off, so I'm not sure what's behind it.
Thanks!

There may be screw missing. Most door panels have a screw in the pull area that goes right into sheet metal. Maybe the previous owner liked to slam the door? Your panel doesn't use pins. It's like the Ram truck door panels. They use molded hooks on the panel that slide into slits in the door frame. So...if you take it off to look don't yank it. Take out scres and lift upwards.

Thanks for thr reply... still trying to figure out if this is normal or if mine has issues. I took another look at it and I'd say the flex in the handle is more like 1/4", not 1/2".

I haven't been inside either the front or rear door, but just closing the rear you can tell it has no sound deadening as it is really tinny.
