body and interior Rear door card fabrication

[martinmcassidy]

I shredded my rear cards taking them out. Don't ask. Now I need to fix my screw up and make new ones, I was thinking about making flush ones that don't have the concave like the stock ones because I don't really know how I would re-create them. Has anyone done this?

Have you tried to find a beat-up set and have them recovered......seems it would be an easier option. (IMO)

I've been looking for about a month to no avail, I still have the vinyl though its just the backing that I ruined

Be patient, someone's bound to have some rear quarter door cards whose backing is in decent shape.  That concavity in the OEM ones is what provides the passengers back there with some elbow room.

 

Bet you didn't push up on yours when removing 'em.  They come off the same way as the door cards, except they don't have any plastic clips to hold 'em in place.  That function is provided by the seat back and cushion.

Hello myFirst1600,

  what color is your interior?  I'm not very knowledgeable about the 1600.  Are the rear cards the same as a 2002?  I've got a pair of dark blue (navy) 2002 rear door cards that are in good shape I would be willing to sell ($75 for the pair).  I live close to the Aptos area too.  Aptos High class of '80
