I've asked a couple of times for someone to post pics ..but nuthin' so far. Kinda strange.
I have a buddy that has had his door panels fixed by Pedro, and I have seen the results. They are top notch. We actually drove to Tampa and dropped the panels off and picked them up from him the next day. Pedro has a jig that he uses to hold the panels in place as the adhesive dries. He has fixed some door panels for dealers’ used cars. He also makes sure that his fix does not interfere with the air bag operation. Plus, I have known Pedro for many years a he is a straight shooter that stands behind his work.

I am fortunate that my door panels have not warped, but if/when they do, I will not hesitate having Pedro repair them.

Yeah. Tell Porsche that. Mine (981 Spyder with leather door panels) were $7500 EACH and that's just parts only. Replaced under warranty. Took a year to make them.

Sounds great. Why no pics? Not even from Pedro.
I just don't understand.

Pics or didn't happen.

seems like it would be an easy fix with the right adhesive and a few clamps and a strip of sturdy bendable type of wood to keep and even about of pressure

someday I will try to tackle this project and post a how to video...you can thank me later

problem is you need to be careful because if you go crazy and glue the wrong area youre basically preventing the side airbag from deploying
