Bert,
I peeled back the vinyl and coated all of mine with a layer of fiberglass
and then glued the vinyl back on the fiber glass before I installed them.
Cheers, dave

Volks,
Both doors on my stock 1970 are aftermarket replacements, just over 10 years
old. The locations
where many of the clips attach are crumbling away. I have repaired some in the
past: for a few I
used J.B. Weld’s KwikWood, and a few others I’ve pieced back together doused
with white glue, let
them set hard, then trimmed and glued. So they just find a new spot to break.
Short of replacing the entire door panel, has anyone found a reliable way to
patch, reinforce, or
repair the fiberboard surrounding the clip holes on TMI door panels? I’m gentle
with them, but the
panels occasionally have to be removed for normal maintenance, repairs, etc.,
and each time creates
new damage. I don’t want any new (visible) screws or clips – the car is
showroom stock to the bone.
Advice would be appreciated.
