Brought mine (for an 86) through Corvette Central a couple of years back but I believe they were made by Corvette America.

My originals had a plastic top section were it fits over the door top by the glass and were cracked and broken beyond repair.

Replacements (deluxe option) had this section made of steel so will never break. Overall very happy and fitted like a glove. Mind you at around $800 a pair so they should!

Try a Vette junk yard. We have vendors here selling all types of C4 parts.

vette junk yards are a good idea for lots of parts but not door panels cause if they don't have the same problem as yours they will soon ( just my personal experience others may vary )..........Jay
