My difficulties with these interior door panels to date have been:
Vendor #1. An absolute
outrageous price (and I can't emphasize the
outrageous adjective enough.
Vendor #2. They re-did my door panels, kept the very marginal backing boards, and did a terrible job fitting new, non OEM vinyl. They also either lost or discarded my original vinyl.
Cost? A bit pricey. They have offered to re-do the door panels, still using the iffy backing boards. My confidence there is kinda marginal.
Vendor #3. New everything here, backing boards and vinyl, but can't get an exact match. Price?.....very reasonable.
My difficulty lies in that I've paid vendor #2 for the work, and even though the offer to re-do has been extended, I'm now wary of the quality of the resultant re-work. Additionally, with the original vinyl now missing, the match with the seats can't be guaranteed until the door panels are re-sent, re-upholstered and sent back.
You'll notice I'm not naming names or trying to disparage anyone with this thread. When my car is finally back in my garage, I assure you that all those who have helped with the work and provided parts and service that to date has been exceptional will be noted, thanked and praised.
Those who have not shall remain un-named.
It should surprise no one though, that the individuals on this Forum who have helped with moral support, advice, consul, and direction cannot be applauded, thanked and held in high regard enough by me.
