OK, so I have been calling TMI every week for the past 2 months to see when they will have the 71-73 Deluxe Doors Panels in production. Latest update is that they are awaiting parts from a supplier by this Friday. If they have a quality problem it will extend them further out. This is the last interior part I needed to have a completly new interior in the car. The way I see it here are my options:
Put the original door panels back in. I have 2 very nice passanger side panels and my original drivers side panel has a crack about 8 inches long on the armrest where you can see the foam underlining.
I have called 2 local vinyl repair shops and both have stated they could not fix the cracked drivers side. I told them even temporarily until TMI has the panels ready.
Order another manufacturer door panel. I have looked at several other brands and have considered them. My concern is vinyl match to the TMI black vinyl used on the outside of my seats.
OR, rent a good drivers side door panel from someone for a week and put the good passanger side on. When the show is over ship the door panel back to its owner.
Feedback is appreciated even more so if the crazy idea of a door panle rental holds any merit.
