Porsche Boxster Door Panel Repair • This Boxster came in with significant gapping along the upper door panels. Once we took a closer look, it was clear the problem went well beyond the visible edge.
Door Panel Delamination • The upper section had separated from its backing, creating a large visible gap between the panel and the door.
Delamination extended to the interior door handle, The separation wasn’t limited to the top edge and had worked its way down through a substantial portion of the panel.
The panel had pulled away from its backing. A closer look shows just how much space had developed between the molded structure and the finished panel.
Panel removed. Removing the door card gave us access to the back side so the extent of the failure could be properly addressed.
Back of panel / internal structure. With the panel off the car, the attachment points, wiring and molded structure are fully accessible.
Delamination extended into the mounting structure. The failure had progressed into the areas responsible for holding the panel together and not simply the visible upholstered edge.
Repaired and Reassembled • The original door panel was retained, repaired, and reassembled rather than replacing the complete door-card assembly.
After • Panel Reattached : Reinstalled with the upper panel secured and the original fitment restored.
Final exterior view. The finished repair from outside the car showing the large gap along the window line is gone.
