Driver Side Door Panel Replacement?

Post by qops1981 »

Hey All,

I am new to the forum so sorry if I am posting to the wrong place. I am trying to find a place online I can buy a Replacement Door Panel for the Driver side, including the power controls for the windows and locks. I have google it for a while and also search this forum, but aside from moding an existing panel I can find a place that sells replacements.

Ponticac Vibe 2003 Standard Power Packadge

Thanks,
-Bill

Welcome to genvibe!

If I needed a replacement inner door panel, I'd first ask here (as you did) There are a couple of people parting out wrecked Vibes, don't know if they have the part, but you might ask them. two recently active threads are viewtopic.php?f=46&t=43041" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and viewtopic.php?f=46&t=41479 There are others too, but I didn't search deep

Next I'd probably try junkyards. If you're in the US, http://www.car-part.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; can let you search junkyard inventory. not a lot near me, seems to be called "Front door trim panel", $40-$75 for my search, the lower priced ones are pretty far away from me, but some junkyards ship, if you are willing to trust them that the part is in good shape.

You can always try to buy a part from a dealer, but something like that will be really expensive from a dealer.

Do you have some custom thing you plan to do or are you replacing one that got severely damaged somehow?

Its to replace the existing one thats falling apart :( . The arm rest section has popped in, the control panel has popped out, & the buttons have popped in! lol. I like the car and it still runs great so I am hopping to cheaply restore some of her failing parts.

forgot to mention that the window switch is likely sold separately. There's a couple on ebay too
