#2 of 3 It should be fixable. by vcheng Jun 26, 2009 (9:47 am)
Depending on the area of detachment, it should be fixable using a good automotive silicone adhesive, I would think. Either remove the whole piece, clean thoroughly underneath and reglue, with a weight on top for curing, or just clean as much as you can under the detached portions and squirt the adhesive and cover with a flat weight while it cures. $10 and some elbow grease and you are done. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, a good third party shop can do this repait for much less than at the dealer. Maybe 50-100 bucks, depending on area, in this case.

Replying to: heather25 (Jun 26, 2009 6:59 am) Hi: My back bumper is coming unglued as well. I think that the door is even creased as I was pulling trying to get the hatch open before I realized why the door wouldn't open. My 2008 Caravan has not been in an accident and there is no way I am going to pay for this repair. I see lots of these vans with the same problem.
