Door Panel Leather Sagging - **FIX**

[MGT2009]

I was quoted $250 per panel, to do black suede, through the upholstrey shop we use at work.

Don't know if thats a good price for the suede but I'm pretty sure its lifetime warranty.

that sounds about right through the guy that will be doing my doors soon.

I need to do something quick. Getting worse every day and I'm getting sick of looking at it.

I used the 3M Headliner and Fabric Adhesive spray about 2 or 3 months ago on both doors and they are holding up fine through the Southeast Louisiana summer.

Great write up and all the other ideas. I have to do this on my girls 06 GT. Keeps complaining about it. lol

I'm getting these done for christmas lol.. I am tired of repairing them myself.. The passenger side looks like the material shrank.. My last repair, the material wouldn't reach the groove.. lol

Mines fell apart when I went to Vegas over the summer. Leather was on when I got there, car sat and baked in the heat, when I got back in... Both sides were sagging. Had some "the right stuff" silicone and I said to hell with it. Shit actually worked! And worked very well! Hasn't sagged or come apart anywhere... Lasted in the hot Cali days...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the 2011 door panels fit in the 05-09? was thinking about finding some out of a salvage car.

I've heard they do EXCEPT you have that portion of the door near the lock going up on the newer panels because of the hump in the rear quarter panel.....so, I'd imagine you'd see some of the backside of the door panel.

Damn. I really like the leather insert on the newer panels.

It wouldn't be a lot and you might not notice it if your windows are tinted. For myself, I have the dove gray interior so probably wouldn't work. Black would be the best option. Too me though you'd have to do the back as well (and obviously we don't have the side window defrosters). Not sure how it matches up with the dash indentation though.

 

[MGT2009]

Actually now that I look at it, it wouldnt work. The panel would hit the dash before the door closed fully.

I thought I saw somewhere that someone out the 2010+ door panels in their 2005-09 and it worked? Might have to search now

It does work. Won't hit the dash but you just have that little upturn near the lock to deal with.
