Metal Door Panels
Anyone buy those matal door panels i see everywhere? Is the fit good, are they really just prime and paint? Can we see some pics?
I need door panels, my original vinyl ones are getting pretty worn.

Re: Metal Door Panels
I picked up a set for my 72 GMC they I don't think are correct to the year but will look nice and should be very hard to wear out.

Re: Metal Door Panels
On the metal door panels, are you using the escutchens under the window or door handles? Do they install easy?

Re: Metal Door Panels
One of the main reason i am considering the metal panels isnt cause they are cheaper, its because i feel that every few years or so i can remove them and repaint them making it look fresh again. You can see in the pic you posted how dirty the vinyl gets and even keeping up with the cleaning, it does grind in...
My window cranks are original but have chrome knobs and when ordering new, the only choice was black or clear.. Thank You for posting those pictures.

Re: Metal Door Panels
I sanded and painted mine.While I had them off I took some very thin styrofoam packing sheets(like nesprint but out of styro) and spray glued i to the backs.It quietened it down and helped some wth heat.The factory used a clear plastic sheet to help seal out air,I used a thin rubberized cloth gasket material.
