They look nice. No matter what I do my fabric always comes off unglued.

My upholsterer just made new panels from scratch. I guess yours could do the same if you supply him with the fabric. Mine were all screwed up and warped from multiple removals, stripped pull handle holes re-drilled and over-sized, and door panel retainer clip holes torn. I don't know how he did it. I think he reused the part that bends over the top near the window. But whatever he did.......it came out bad-ass!

I'm doing the same with the custom panels for my Limited. Just using the metal top and cutting new door board.

Where do you get the board from?

Home Depot

 

[bpman1234]

Peg board?

Yeah, but without the holes.

I guess you could use pegboard if you already had some. Once they're covered you wouldn't notice.

Just have to lay it out so the holes aren't on the edges.

You don't use peg board or anything near it.
They make 1/8" Luan plywood or your local interior shop sells the actual cardboard door panel material. It's about 1/8" think posterboard.
No offense Earl....
