my front and rear passenger side door panels have been cracked, the front is barely usable. ive noticed its a common problem with these POSs and apparently Jeep/Chrysler doesnt want to pony up and fix the problem right. its probably gonna take somebody dying and getting trapped then hitting them with a wrongful death lawsuit before they dix it. in the meantime, i dont see paying 600 a door logical. after calling several salvage yards i found one that had both front and rear passenger doors....they only wanted 25 each. granted they arent the same color but thats why they make spraypaint.

to remove assembly i carefully drilled out the melted tabs and it pops right off.
