anybody else have their door panels crack? both of mine did, vertical crack straight down from the window about 3 inches long. i think it might be from the electric windows.

yup........my driver side door is cracking. One of the forums had a discussion about this. They were trying to get GM to do a recall on the doors.

Long heavy doors + disconnected sub-frame = problems
Oh and T-Tops don't help either for the rigidity of the car.
But this is something thats been hapenning for as far as I can remember. My 83 Monte Carlo had the same problem.

I had the same problem on my 93 Z28 my mechanic said that the doors are kinda glued in that joint and after time it brakes loose. Long story short he sent my car to like a specialist who deals with that kinda stuff and he re-glued it and its like brand new now. It was about $100-200 I think. Luckily I havent had any problem with my 2000 WS6. I think now slamming your doors will help out a bunch.
