odd protrusion of the driver side door - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

spitfire481 · 02-21-2018, 08:45 AM

I have repaired damage like this on a ton of doors, of all makes. something pressed against the door skin and the sheet metal formed around the crash bar, which is part of the door frame structure and foam glued to the door skin. The only time I have seen the door skin show the line of the crash bar from temperature change is when a body shop replaced the door skin and used a non flexible adhesive between the crash bar and skin

Do they usually keep growing though? Totally see this happing but the strange part of this one is that it keeps getting worse but there is no indicator of impact from the outside.
Not disputing just don't see how it gets bigger.

A picture of the foam would make it a little clearer to see if there is a material problem which would allow a temp change to make the line change. it takes a minimal bump to make a crease around the bar. Can be easily done without leaving any mark whatsoever on the paint.

humfrz

figure out if its from an impact, or a material failure from the factory (foam adhesive) first

Looks like the drivers side?
Has a snowplow been past and piled a load against it?

Rustyspoon · 02-21-2018, 03:06 PM

I have it in the shop now. Many years ago they performed the window freeze fix. Could that be related?

Nothing like that has happened. Thankfully!

I once hauled a motorcycle in a Tacoma and the rear tire of the motorcycle was resting on the truck's tailgate. The tailgate did not sag or bend and the gaps and function were still perfect after the trip. That said I did have a slight protruding crease similar to this. I assumed there was enough flex in the tailgate to let the internal support come in contact with the backside of the skin.

Can you back the pics off a bit so we can tell what we are even looking at?
