Wade,
Door panels on new Ford's?
Glued.
Chrysler door panels?
Glued.
New GM's?
Glued.
They have only a couple of pinch welds, under the window moldings.
There are a couple of manufacturers  (Fuzor, and Duramix) of body panel
adhesive's  that have conducted crash test's on cars that have had the
roof panel's, and quarter panels glued on.
In a roll over situation it was found that the adhesives were as strong
as, or stronger than a weld.
If the factories are using the stuff, why shouldn't anyone else?


It works for me.
