Probably, but it's a pretty big job. To do it right one would have to pull the sofa, the electrical center, the battery boxes, the mouse fur and the inner skin to get to the frame mounting rivets. There was barely enough room in the inner skin gap to drive a few short screws between the inner skin gap and the battery box to reinforce the outer skin/door frame interface. That worked on the curbside. I may try to get one more screw into the streetside one. But even that is a contortionist's job.

They're attached sort of like the taillight housings.....riveted to the outer skin before the inner skin was installed.
