so, I will ask a question that I think I have asked before. The map pocket on the driver's door is not on my car - '76 115 300D. I have it but the corners are broken where the pins go through the holes to hold it on. I think I have - or at least did have - one of the little black plastic pins

I have not tried to find any as I had heard long ago that they were not readily available. My passenger side is fine. The driver's side is ok except for the little corner spots where the pins go through. They look fine from the outside. I sort of plan to fix with epoxy and maybe drill holes

I might have a working pocket. You would need to paint it to match your interior. I faked a way with the pockets on Gump. I too had corner connector failures. A little bit of a landing to use, so I epoxied a nut to the pocket, then used a stubby bolt/screw to go through the panel. A washer

Ok, so if it just mounts to the panel it should not be a problem. I like the idea of attaching a nut with epoxy and then running a short bolt through from behind. Or, I could likely attach a short bolt with epoxy and then put the nut on the back of the panel. That might work even better. Will

What do you do to the plastic to ensure that the epoxy will adhere? Sand it to roughen the surface? Clean it with some chemical to ensure it does not reject your efforts? Randy On 16/01/2014 2:08 PM, clay wrote: I might have a working pocket. You would need to paint it to match your
