My back door panels are pealing from the window due to heat, can those be replaced? If so is anyone selling them? Thanks

 

odd...do you have a pic?

 

I do not, but you know the car at kiborts? Devek stroker one? Well that has same issue if you say any pics of that

 

My 928 does not have any back doors?
Pics?

 

Are you talking about the trim around the quarter windows? if so, they can be repaired and recovered. Most any decent auto upholstery shop will be able to do it. I had mine repaired and recovered in auto vinyl for $200 for both when I first bought the car in 2007.

 

Yes dean that's what I meant lol it's behind the back seats

 

I got a free set of pristine ones from a guy in Milpitas...but...they could be fixed if not too far gone.

 

okay thats classic rear 1/4 panel warp.....very common...& not all that cheap or easy to fix.....IF the leather is still attached (not pulled off)...I would try moisturizing it over time....it should relax a bit....thats what I did with Sharky...it worked well

 

mine are a little warped as well... i have thought about how to repar them, as well as my upper drivers door panel.. it is lifting at the window....

my thought is to take them off, strip the leather/vinyl , reshape them via steam/ small cuts, etc.. then paint them with some west system expoy..

however they have to be reshaped, the epoxy will keep them from warping again.

 

Rob Budd posted a method for straightening these and re-using the leather on them about a year or so (maybe longer - time flies) ago. Don't have the link, but search for "quarter panel repair", and perhaps Rob Budd with that and you should find the posting. Quite a thorough write-up.

Dude - you don't own a digi camera or have a camera on your phone?

 

Tony Harkin posted a Rear Quarter Panel fix way back. It involves riveting a straight edge yard stick (steel) from Home depot to the warped area, then either recovering or pulling the material (leather or leatherette) back over it and glueing it back down.

Without piics of yours, hard to determine what method of a fix is needed. The quarter panels range from really good on cars never left in the sun, to mildly warped, to totally fubard!!

Post pics when you get a chance.

 

If they are worped...it will require some kind of stiff material glued to the underside. A heat gun will not work long term. You can find 1" x 1' aluminum angle ( Lowe's, home depot) that weighs nothing and is cheap that works very well.
