Cheap Doors?
I have a 99 2 door GL, and I can hear and feel the plastic bending everytime I close my doors, and it seems like it's only a matter of time before something cracks or breaks. Does anybody else have this same problem?

when I get in the car and sit down, I reach over to the door where the part you pull is.
The plastic part (or whatever it is)

roll down your window and pull by the edge of the door until you find out whats wrong.
Adam mine dont move like that i think he means when you pull on the door handle the whole things bends out.

I think you're probably right, I just got in my mom's car (03 alero 4 door) and it does the same thing, I just had to really listen closely to hear it. Mine just sounds 10x worse, I think something might be loose though.

Well mine dont move, look under your door handle and if youll see and oval piece pop that off and see if if there are two screws in there, if they are try and take them out if they dont come out then they are probably stripped.

But theres screws behind a little plastic panel (that pops out) under the handle and button control thing.

under the ridge where the handle u pull on and control buttons are.. it and oval plastic peice, pretty little.. and u pop it right off.
Its hard to explain.. havent looked at it recently...
But you know the handle u pull on to close the door? theres a gap between the handle and the door panel u put your hand in to grip it... and its inbetween that gap there =/

don't forget the screw behind the reflector towards the back of the door...the reflector pops out the same way as the clip behind the handle and reveals another screw. I found this one out the hard way...

Mine does it too, but I'm not worried about it... I figure if my panel breaks off, i'll just go get another one from the junk yard... They got quite a few aleros sitting there. lol some of them are 2 dr.
