Default Door Panel Fix (981) within Canada

I have a 2015 Cayman, lived in Toronto until end of last year and now in BC once I took ownership. Fairly low mileage so suprised to see the top of my door card start to fail. Its not bad at the moment, but will do my head in over the coming months.

Any companies within Canada who does the so-called 'Pedro fix'? Any real world examples? I suspect shipping door cards down to FL will be super expensive, so looking at options. I'm near the border, so shipping in the US is also an option


Any thoughts, experiences much appreciated.

I'm in Ottawa, and sent mine to Pedro's garage last winter using the UPS Store in Ogdensburg, NY, a 45 min. drive from my house. Boxed them up, weighed them, emailed Pedro who sent me a prepaid shipping label and drove down there and sent them off. A week later they were back at the store and I went and got them. No problems at all at the border. I told them what was in the box (and left it unsealed, in case), but they just waved me through, both ways. I also went on weekdays when the crossings were not busy. It's certainly the quickest, easiest and cheapest option if you have the time to go, and I'm happy with the work done. My driver's side panel ('13 Boxster) was separated along half its length and the passenger side was just starting, so I sent them both. The look great now, and they're warrantied

Thanks, my drivers door is just starting at the rear, but I will probably send both down as its going to happen to both eventually. Shipping to Pedro from US probably best route. Thanks!
