There’s a YouTube video where some guy used neoprene tape along the top edge and he claims it’s held up good. It looked good. If mine ever separates I may try that fix.
Mine was doing it on the passenger side. I simply removed the door skin and heated up the tabs with a heat gun, then bent them up (or down, I can’t remember) so they would stay locked in place. No problems since.
I came across a guy who placed 2” adhesive backed neoprene on the top and it looked good while giving a little cushion. May stop getting skin pinched as well. I am looking to do the same. Will try to post pics.
Here are a few photos of the 2" neoprene I added to the top of the doors. I got this on amazon. The adhesive is very strong. No issues power washing or coming undone. I think it looks good as well, almost as if it could come that way from factory. Anyway...just a share....
This was on my list of things to research and do. If my KRX is ever ready to pick up (got pushed yet another day), I already have a pile of adds and "fixes" sitting in the shop waiting. Thanks so much for this fourm!
round the corners with scissors so don't have pointy ends that may lift, Don't overly stretch it working the slight radius bend towards the front of the door or it starts to slightly lift.
For about the first week mine would lift a little in the curve every two or three days. After that it stayed in place with no issues, even when pressure washing it.
I have done the "tape mod" as well, but no matter how well I clean/prep the surface, the inside of the tape towards the front of the door, just will not stick. Anybody else having this issue?
It may be the tape itself, This is what I used and I have had no issues. Make sure you lay it along the top first without stretching it before you roll it over the inner shell.
Had my doors off yesterday installing door hinge bushings from jraoffroad, which work awesome, and heated front top of outer door skin at top with a hair drier and bent down tab so that it not clips together like the rest of the panel.
