The car has never been hit or anything of the sort.
Oh yeah warranty but what could they possibly do other then glop weld it?

i think thats where to panels are fitted togerther then they put this caulk over it and paint over the caulk.

all they will do is grind it down tap it with a hammer to make it fit tighter and recaulk it then paint it

If you bought the car used I bet that the upper section of the door was flexed out with the door shut to get in, like someone breaking in to it. If this has never happened to your knowledge then you may not have known that someone tried. I have experienced this in my job as I work in the autobody field. Anyhow I would deffinitely have it looked at.

Mine had that too. Integra doors are heavy, I don't think it's a big deal..

that looks like plastic rob, why does it look so "flexible" (like flubber) in that picture?
