95 Door Panel Help
I finally got the door panel off but it appears to me, the ribs are ok. Please take a look at my pictures and let me know what might be wrong with the panels. Does the top of the panel hook on the top of the door. I also included a picture of the label on the panel. Is this door panel aftermarket? If so who makes it. Thanks in advance for any information.

It appears the ribs are cracked. There's plenty of info on a repair.

They are cracked in the valley of the ribs.
I ran a hacksaw down the cracks to open them up a little. This way I could be sure that when I tightend the cargo strap to reshape the panel it would go back to the original factory position. I think I tightened a little extra just to be sure it would stay hooked on the door.

My door panel ribs were cracked just like yours.
