![]() ![]() That is a thin cushion layer that is applied between the hard shell and the vinyl. My caution to you would be to notice that golden/yellow colored foam visible in the photo. Just a note, on the '64s the arm rest is not removable as the underlying shell is a solid contiguous form. The grain of the vinyl didn't match, but should be accomplished for less than $300 if you do it yourself, or at least take just the arm rest (if it can be removed from the panel) to an upholstery shop.I agree that this could be the way to go as a first step for budget reasons. Joe Johnston wrote:I have seen nice results when the door panel was completely disassembled and the arm rest area recovered with new vinyl, then dyed to match. I've attached a picture of the door panel. How does that work? Can I use vinyl spray dye? Are all the colors available? (Someone mentioned in another post about Concours Parts selling spray dye.) Would that have to be done by an outfit like Pat Wilson's, etc? The prior owner told me the panels would have to be dyed to the proper color. Any suggestions on how to make a halfway decent repair?Īlso, I see that the panels are sold either in black or white. I'm ok with a somewhat temporary patch/repair, as long as it looks halfway decent - by that I mean better than duct tape - until I can get new panels. I know I can buy a pair of door panels for around $600 bucks, but that's not in the cards right now. I contacted a couple of vinyl repair places and one quoted $300 for the repair. The driver's side has a gaping hole in the arm rest, which was covered with duct tape when I purchased the car. I wanted to get some options on the door panels for my 64.
