What a mess. No matter what I do to keep this vinyl glued, it comes apart. Yesterday we took it to an auto upholstery shop and they told us they can glue a piece of material in the panel, but it wouldn't look pretty because they could only put it "up" to the edge. (space too small to fit in). They were going to charge $50 a panel. They also said they get calls every week regarding the 2009 Mustang.

I did try several methods to get this resolved myself. We were told what kind of glue we needed and a few days after gluing both panels were apart after parking in the Texas heat all day. I screamed a lot. Each time I re-glued, I had the same results... it came apart. The last time we tried, the left door stayed glued except for about 2 inches. So I took thin rubber roping (used for screens) and glued it around the edge to hold the remainder of the vinyl up. It was a nice snug fit. And this morning it was on my seat. I think it's the work of Gremlins..or worse. The right side has stayed up. For the right panel, I just glued the edge and then took a black shoelace and pushed it in the edge. It has stayed nicely, and doesn't look bad either. Of course this is just quick fix.

What are we all going to do about this? This should be a recall issue. These panels were definitely not cut correctly. Why hasn't this been addressed by Ford? There certainly are enough of us around having this problem...AND, what does this do to trade in value?

Mustang Anniversary Edition 3.2L V.6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

This is utterly ridiculous and it looks TRASHY! I can't believe that such a classic car - known worldwide would be such a mess. I went to the auto store and purchased spray foam/vinyl glue. It's a quick fix obviously, because this Spring it began to come apart again. I was unemployed and could not afford major vehicle repair. I've had people complement me on the car and the whole time I'm thinking..."Hope you don't see the inside."

I've never had this happen with any vehicle. Crazy part is the weather in my area gets muggy and hot, worst thing in the world for this issue. THANKS FOR NOTHING FORD! Crappy made cars are the worst! Guess the rumor from childhood is true - F.O.R.D = Found On Road Daily! And we wonder why imports out sell American made cars...could it have something to do with the quality check process and poor customer relations.

Ugh! Makes me furious!!!

Mustang V8 V8

  • Manual transmission
  • 9,000 miles

Sad to say after buying Ford mustangs all my life I will NEVER buy another Ford product!! My 2009 V8 Mustang was just out of warranty when the door panels got unglued and when I tried to go to the dealership they gave me the brush off...I then called Ford directly and made a formal complaint still nothing...2years later only 17,000 miles on this car (I bought it brand new) the fibers within the panel are now being airborne and all over my car and into my nose and lungs. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN AND RISK ESPECIALLY IF THESE FIBERS ARE MADE UP OF FIBERGLAS. EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR I START TO COUGH, WHEEZE, CHOKE, AND MY NOSE STARTS RUNNING AND WHEN I BLOW MY NOSE I GET SOME OF THE SAME PARTICLES IN THE CLEAR MUCOUS. FIBERGLAS OR WHATEVER THIS IS THAT IM SOON GOING TO FIND OUT BC IM GOING TO SENT A SAMPLE TO THE LAB, CAN BE CANCEROUS! FORD IS A ROTTEN, TERRIBLE COMPANY THAT I WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE A PENNY IF MY MONEY!! IF THEY HAD RECTIFIED THIS SITUATION THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCH A HEALTH RISK. THE PROBLEM IS THE PANEL CANNOT JUST BE GLUED BACK...IT IS A DEFECT FROM FORD THAT THE LEATHER ON THE PANEL WAS CUT TOO SHORT AND THUS NOT STAYING IN PLACE. FORD DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL AND THEIR BODY SHOP DOES NOT DO UPHOLSTERY...THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL NEEDS TO BE SAWED OUT AND A NEW PANEL INSERTED, SO IT'S A BIG JOB I AM TOLD. NOT MY PROBLEM...I AM NOW IN SEARCH OF AN ATTORNEY WHO WILL FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS AND MY HEALTH. THEY ARE NOT SMART AS THEY COULD HAVE MADE THIS SIMPLE FOR THEMSELVES SHOULD THEY HAVE FIXED THE SMALL PROBLEM THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED KNWING THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE ON THEIR PART WITH THOUSANDS OF MUSTANGS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SHAME ON YOU FORD, YOU MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD AND WILL LOSE THE TRUST THAT SO MANY PPL HAVE IN BUYING/SUPPORTING AMERICAN. ANY ADVISE WILL HELP! Thx!

door panels are coming unglued door panels are coming unglued

Look, I spent almost $30,000 for this car. 2009 Mustang GT's are the pride of Ford and this isn't my first mustang. I also spoke with other Ford Mustang Owners and they are having the same problem. How is the car so expensive but the interior is so poorly designed. So, I'm thinking, If the panels are coming loose and I have my windows down or even blowing the A/C, I and my passengers are inhaling fiberglass due to your poor design. Any wind will carry particles. I also am a 70% Disabled Veteran due to lung problems. Now when my condition worsens I should be able to file a lawsuit on Ford for contributing to the problem. I've had numerous cars (Lexus, Chevy's, VW, Cadillac, Ford's) and by favor this is the worse. How does my car sound so good, look so good on the outside, then I open the door and it looks like Pick A Part. I hope this doesn't affect my trade in value. If this problem isn't resolved I will never support Ford again and I can't wait to put a lawsuit in for health issues. I personally feel this is contributing to my poor health. Matter of fact I think I will speak to a lawyer this week about this matter. Fiberglass and Asthma doesn't mix. So what do you say Ford, do you really care about your customers or are you just trying to cut corners for profit gain. Please don't let us down. I'm also looking to post this on facebook and other social medias to see how many have this problem.

door panels are coming unglued

well i'm very upset about it, it's a 2009 mustang and i take very good care of it. it looks brand new, but when the door panels start coming unglued and the my stereo has little bald spots every where because when i touch the buttons to turn it on the color paint comes off of it and it makes my mustang look so ghetto in the inside it's embarrassing to even let anyone ride with me, because everyone tells me how nice my car is then you get in it and it's terrible.
