Hi everyone, I have a 97 GTS and my door skins are separating a bit from the inner door. If you open the door the side that faces out, if you look at the top you can see that it is starting to separate...has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it. Thanks in advance –Johnny

yep, on my passenger side (97 GTS red as well). Driver side is fine. One of these days I'll take it apart and fix whatever it is that is causing it to stick out.

Don't worry, it's just shedding it's skin, that's perfectly normal, it will come out as an 08 SRT-10.

Check out 'Lord Fusor' products. They have adhesives for any type of material you want to reattach. It is a caulk gun type product and easy to use. Once it's together it will never ever come apart. I've used on fiberglass and plastic bumpers. Amazing stuff but a bit pricey.

I went to a body shop this weekend, they are going to look into seeing if the viper needs special seem sealer and if there is any service bulletins on defects with the skins
