Bert - is there any way a person can remove the covering from that
fiberboard and then using the old as a template, make some out of PVC or
tempered hardboard?

Subject: [vintagvw] Repairing broken door panel holes
Volks,
I have TMI aftermarket door panels on my ’70. They’re made of a weaker
fiberboard material than OEM panels. Despite my most cautious efforts, I’ve
broken out the clip holes in a few places as I carefully pried out a panel
to remove it. (Okay, not carefully enough.) They pretty much crumbled
away.
I’m trying to think through the best repair. I could drill and glue in a
larger segment of brand new fiberboard. I could fabricate a “Plastic Wood
sandwich” at the location of the break. I could glue in pieces of popsicle
sticks along the outer margins to give each clip something to “bite” on.
The panels are otherwise in like-new condition. I don't want to use new
black trim screws (as I often see) since they're ugly and
non-original-looking.
So what has worked best for you?
Bert
