Babe Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Shut my seatbelt in the car door today... punctured the door panel ! Think replacing the panel is gonna be too much money right now (any ideas how much?). What should I do in the meantime... stick a bit of black electrical tape over it to stop the spiders making a home and to keep any damp out? Advice appreciated! Thanks Babe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I BEG YOUR PARDON - WAS THAT - " OH DEAR" ??. Not sure what would fix it other than a new panel, try Ibrar, he's normally got all manner of spares knocking about his workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hey! Gimme a break. I'm a guy on a budget! LOL, but back on topic... I think Halfrauds do a vinyl repair kit. There is the same thing on ebay for half the price I think. Max £30 anyway from Halfrauds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the same thing on ebay for half the price I think. Max £30 anyway from Halfrauds. Is this easy to use (ie, even I can't cock it up)?

peter richards Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 dont go buying any kit from halfords , see if you can find a SMART repairer in your area . go to any main dealer and ask , as they use these guys all the time , he will charge you about £20 to repair that, easy job, take about half an hour imho .

Jezz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Gimp suit? Have a latex dress... Can i see? I have loads of door cards that have damage on the bottom like that, and i've always wondered how they all got split in the same place. Now i know!! Knowing you're a student, I could swap you a good door card for a few tins of beans and a paper plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
