i am curious how you got the panel off. in fiddling back there this weekend, it looked to me like it was melted or fused palstic knobs holding that on?

door panels are easy clip ons. start at the front, then work your way back at the bottom. then the "pull" it up. p.s. the entire door panel has to come off.

if the rear door panels are contructed the same way as the front. then the insert should have "points" that are melted onto the door panel. not really sure what would be the best procedure to do this. maybe a solder... bu like i said.. those panel inserts are not clip onthen again, i could be wrong, not

you have to carefully drill the center then cut or grind off the melted plaastic. then epoxy it back. but mine are the whole door panels cause i couldnt find the inserts separetly. yes that cloth is the same as front the picture is just crappy

i still have my leather inserts for the 4 doors. never installed them, so i gave them to phil. someday, he'll probably install them, or maybe not.
