Default Ah Crap, I broke my woody

Hey... I broke the little woodgrain strip on the passenger rear door. (EL GHIA)
:
I was trying to fit a large box on the back seat, and managed to catch the woodgrain panel on it, and snap most of the little tabs that hold it in place.

Looking at it further.. it appears that i cant swap this for a new one? Do i have to take the door trim off?

Or am i going to get reemed here, and have to buy an entire door trim ?

John, sunny? Have any lying around ? :
Ash, can you turn away for a minute ?

Steve

So you have broken the small metal Tabs off the woodgrain piece? If so they are replaceable. I think you can buy them from bunnings. To replace them, you must remove the door trim, insert new metal Tabs into woodgrain, then fit the woodgrain piece, bend them back around the trim, and thats it

If the woodgrain strip is broken itself, they are replaceable and ive seen a few wreckers here and there who have had them.

BTW love the Thread Title :P

If you haven't damaged the trim itself just sicaflex it back into the right place.. You never have a need to take them off anyway so abit of silicon won't hurt it.. Use the one for aquariums, it has no corrosive properties.

90% sure you can buy just the trims from Ford if thats what you want to do, but i think they are around $300 each (yes i am talking per bit of 'wood'), thats your typical Ford pricing.

Depending on the damage i'd probably do as has been suggested and just glue ti back on. Or take them all off and have them redone in brushed aluminium or CF finish _2: .
