Puma 2.2 - Rear Door Skin Loose and Rattling.
The Rear door skin on my Puma 2.2 is loose at the bottom. The skin has a fold at the bottom but the frame is no longer tucked in. The skin has come away from the adhesive in a couple of places where it meets the frame.
I can't see any way to open that skin up and to get it to sit back in the groove.
What would be best to chuck in there to get it bonded back to the frame?
Sika 117 or something similar? Plan is to'liberlaly apply between the two surfaces and then clamp a piece of timber across the outside while it sets? Any other products recommended I can pick up easily or find via Amazon?2001 Defender Special Vehicles TD5 Hardtop (Ex Scottish & Southern) Side Lockers, Side Hatches - Poorly chassis and bulkhead.

If you take off the spare wheel and rear door card and post some photos on here it may be possible to see what is going wrong, but the frame will need pulling back in line and probably strengthening to re aline with the skin, then add the sikaflex and refold the bottom edge.
