I picked up my new GT on Thursday in the dark and rain, so didn’t get a chance to look real closely before I took it home. Over the weekend I found this plastic trim on the bottom of driver’s door is popped out of position slightly. I pushed on it but can not get it to sit flush. Almost seems like a loose adhesive on the inside. Any way I can fix this myself without making a trip back to the dealer?

It also looks a bit damaged in the one photo. I would certainly take it back right away even if it turns out to be a simple fix.

It’s not damaged, that’s just an effect of finger smudging and the overhead lighting. It wiped clean. Will probably have to take it in to get fixed but the dealer is an hour away. Was hoping it would be an easy fix.

Hopefully one of the more knowledgeable “mechanics” will have some better advice. Glad it was only optics and not damaged.

why not just go to a local body shop, may cost you a few $ but rather than drive an hour
just a thought

When I had my Rebel, fender flares came loose several times. One dealer fixed it during an oil change. Another dealer refused to fix it and told me to come back in a year if it got worse. I looked up the issue on ram forum website and one guy recommended this glue "zap-o foam safe ca". You can check it out and see if it fits your need.

I would go back to the dealer ship if it is a brand new car.

Can you look under your door on the very bottom edge adjacent to that area? Mine has scratches on there as well. It looks to me as if they had some trouble during installation at the factory.

I’ve made an appointment with my dealer but the soonest they could get me in is a couple weeks out.

Send a photo to your dealer so they can plan to get a replacement part if needed.

I think those bottom panels just snap in, because my Select has the basic plastic piece in that location. If you can't just get it to push firmly back into place, maybe the clip is broken.
