Drivers Door Panel
I have tried everything to repair the door skin on the drivers door of my 95. I am going to replace it with an aftermarket skin. Does anyone have any recommendation on where to get a good replica?

Do a "search". You can do this one yourself, I did. The total cost was under $10.00 and also under two hours with simple tools.

Thanks guys. I did redo the door according to the thread, the problem is the skin has been repaired so many times that it still will not hold in position for more than a couple of drives. I think it may be time to put on an after market. Thanks for the help.

I just repaired mine with the aluminum plates that are riveted together to squeeze the original plastic rib. But I also used a generous amount of two part epoxy to increase the bondng surface area.
Then I left in in the sun with the back side up so the plastic would lose its memory and avoid springing back to the wrong shape.
I understand that a new one may be the way to go, but check out the epoxy option. I have grown to love that stuff.

just replaced mine with new ones from wilcox, they had a discount for forum members and were the cheapest I found. The fit was good and so is the quality. I bought these based on a lot of feedback from people on this forum
