Default Door delaminating fix?

Seeing the cracked to all HE** door below reminds me to ask this question... my drivers side frame is just starting to delaminate from the skin at the back corner. I've seen this on a lot of c3's. Any proper way to fix this? It is a sunny day fun car only to me. Rest of the door looks good so far. Passenger door is perfect.

Kill rust with port 15, paint it to match car, epoxy back together and clamp it?

I don't want it to get any worse since it's just at the very beginning stages.

Thanks guys!

I'm sur this is probably not the proper way to fix (but the way PO did it wasn't either) but I used some POR-15 patch since I had some already. I think I read about someone else doing it also. May be where i got the idea. So far it has held up nicely for about 6 months. PO used some kind of fiberglass that didn't hold well. I think he also used about half the can.

most vendors sell the bonding adhesive to do the job properly. you can probably use liquid nail also ! Rick
