    Anyone ever disassemble & swap door panel pieces?

    Has anyone sucessfully swapped parts of a door panel on an AA-body car?

    The reason I'm asking is that I have an Acclaim that has excellent condition grey door panels; manual windows though. My Spirit R/T has mediocre to ok condition panels for the age & mileage, the plastic pieces on top are sun faded and cracking, the twist is that it has power windows.

    I've never tried disassembling one of these door panels. Anyone have any experience doing something like this?

    They are a pain in the a$$, the inner weatherstrip is stapled to the upper plastic trim and the cloth section. There are also differences between 91 down and 92 up panels. I damaged a 92 R/T panel and figured no big deal, grab the spare 91's I have in storage. No dice, completely different construction and design. To add insult to injury, I had just thrown away a good set of 92 panels figuring I had enough spares with the 91's I already had. I have a couple 91 panels if you need something.

    I really need a good 92 drivers side to replace the one I jacked up.

    Huge thanks for the heads up on the 91/92 panel differences! That puts things on hold for the time being, the R/T is a '91 and the Acclaim is a 92.
