Interior Cracks (4th Gen)

[sping012]

So does anyone have this problem like me, that i just recently noticed. The interior door panel has a tiny crack/slice at the top, going down vertically from the window? I guess its a pretty big problem?

Heres a site that may help stop the problem from continuing

Aww man, "all the way cracked" do you mean all the way down?? Mine are about a half inch right now.

The bottom of the window....





Apparently after time they end up looking like this!!

Yeah, there was a huge thread about it on LS1Tech.com. I think a lot of people fixed it by putting a couple coats of epoxy on the back of the crack and "glueing it" back together.

I guess it has to do with how the window panel is built behind the plastic. There put together with staples and the staples seem to move around over time, so when you roll down your window it causes the plastic to stretch over the staples since they start to come out. Rolling your window down over and over will cause the plastic to become weaker and it just gets worse.
