Donflem Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Interior door panel bunching up on My 2007 dynasty. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you in advance Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Mine entry door has the same problem, no idea why. I plan to address it when I open up the door to adjust the latch mechanism. Not even sure how until I look closer. There is so much bunched up in the upper forward corner that I may have to remove some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Holt Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I had the same issue and I took the vertical trim off the door which also allows access to adjust the door latch and lube it well. I found that using contact cement you can smooth the material as best you can then replace the trim insuring the material is under it when tightening. Don't forget to reseal the seam with appropriate silicone to avoid this problem down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDon4u Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I also have the same problem. This summer I plan taking 3M contact cement to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidL Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 That's a little bizarre how it crept up like that. Likely remove the phillips screws from the window frame perimeter and pull it down to straighten. I assume that's vinyl and not plastic? If so, it should pull out. Looks like the vinyl has gotten mashed near the door striker. Is there a bezel missing from around that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donflem Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I’m not sure if there’s anything missing on that door strike or not. I’m going to take the window covering and the strike panel out I need to lube the door also so I’m going to try and get it all done at one time. I just can’t get over how it’s bunched up all of the top like that. Thanks for the help guys. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yeah, that is bizarre. Reminds me of the saying don't get your panties in a wad. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary 05 AMB DST Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Donflem, Remember when you take out the indoor window frame, there is nothing holding the window in place. Push on it and the window will pop out. Were those phillips screws original? I know on my 05 Ambassador, all screws are square drive. They sure look like phillips.

Gary M Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 My 09 Knight is plastic. Can’t see how it can do that unless a lot of heat would basically melt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbo777 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ditto on my door looking the same. Plan to at least try to fix it this winter. Looking forward to seeing the results on this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoaks5 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Both my 04 Navigator and my current 06 look like that also. I tried to smooth out the material on the 04 using a heat gun and iron (very carefully) and if was better but not great. I think some glue is probably needed to help hold it in place. But I think it's going to be tough to get the now wrinkled material to lay flat again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J A Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Monaco used to have, what they called, "The Door Store" in Elkhart, In. Maybe REV builds doors there. I would talk to the guys that repair / restore antique vehicles. Maybe local to you car clubs. Edited January 20, 2022 by Paul A. grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob M cKeown Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I had the same problem years ago on my 2003 Signature. I removed the window, stretched the vinyl or whatever it is back to remove all the humps, very carefully cut out the excess and glued it back down and replaced and sealed the window, again very carefully. I know where the cut is where I removed the excess but anyone else would have a hard time finding it. The vinyl has stayed in place since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodylmiller Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 We have the same problem. We are going to try and use heat to flatten it out. Thanks for the heads up on the window falling out. 3M may have some adhesives that are stronger than contact cement and will give you a little working time to get things just right. Past experience with contact cement is sometimes it is completely stuck the moment it comes in contact with no chance of removing or adjusting.
