The plastic panels on my "new" '88 were both cracket; I repaired them with some fiberglass screen & JB Quick.
One panel has come loose again. The "fix" for it will be to get two "L" shaped metal pieces at the local hardware, cut down one leg to be just a little longer than the existing metal ribs along the door top and attach the "L"s to the top of the door. These project up just enough to keep the weak plastic panel from springing off.

My prior 35th had the "floppy ears" so I just rebuilt the visors; great winter project. This 35th has solid "ears" so I'm VERY careful when I move the visors so as to not break/crack the cardboard within.
