I had to fix mine in a few spots where the pressboard was cracked. I used some thick cardboard as a patch (inside of binder covers), wood glue, and some clamps. Turned out not bad. You don't see it anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I used the same technique with 2-part epoxy. I was able to straighten the water damaged lower edge and reattatch the vinyl at the same time. As Zone already stated, you don't see it anyway. |

I straightened mine out, added additional cardboard where it had disentegrated. I then put a layer of fiberglass on both sides, overlapping the old and the new. Then covered it up with new backpad material.

Thanks guys, I will use one of these options, while I'm putting the last trim peices together and finishing the interior, this is the last repair job. Thanks Mike |

If you watch the classic threads you will see my door paner restoration thread. I restored the cardboard panel with white wood glue. You can also change the shape using a steam iron. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=54608

We used to restore factory ones with fiberglass or epoxy.To flatten a area that is warped use 2x4s,or 6 with a release agent on them (clear shipping tape on the board so it wont stick to your back pad) and clamps.

I use wax paper as a "release agent". You can also spread your fg mat with resin on a piece of wax paper and then apply it to whatever you are 'glassing.
