Could you be a little more specific.
 
It happened to me too. That black goo holds a plastic film over the door shell. Youll need to take the door panel off and clean off the excess goo because once your car really heats up then it starts dripping the goo on the plastic side plates so when you open your door it makes that nice sticky noise

Hi and yes this is a problem my 2k Avenger does the same thing and Chrysler :laser: put out a TSB to the dealers :laser: to fix this problem, it is the heavy thick undercoating they spray on the inside of the doors to help prevent rust and when it get real hot outside it begins to melt and runs down the inside of the door and out thru the water drain holes in bottom of the doors and onto the sills, believe me you get it everywhere :notgood: , seatbelts, clothes etc and it doesn't come off. The only way to get rid of it is to rip apart the doors and use a good cleaner and remove the tar or plug up the drain holes(I have had mine done at the dealer :laser: , replaced the sills 3 times :mad: and a seat belt and it still DRIPS!!!) so my next solution is to do it myself and remove the undercoating completely using a very good degreaser. I really don't want to plug the holes and let the water set inside either......
