When moving a TV, I put a dent and created a tear in the doorcard. Dealer said it would be $530 to get a new doorcard.

I'm already going to take a Sharpie to it, but I'd really like something that would be a more decent fix.

Any suggestions?

 

ouch...

 

There are vinyl repair kits, where you mix up some glop to fill the hole and press a textured piece of paper over the curing glop to match the pattern. I bought one of those years ago, but never got around to using it.

Maybe you could ping some of the discount Mazda dealers on here and on the Web. Might be able knock some dollars off your local dealer.

 

oh that sucks.....sharpie would make it look better...but I would look at some vinyl repair kits they make them for all sorts of things and see it one of those will fix it ~600 bucks for that little scuff/rip is not worth it IMHO!

Good Luck

 

Also check out the For Sale/Wanted section on here. Post and maybe someone knows of a wrecked 8 or spare lying around.

 

I got one of those "vinyl repair kits" too and I got around to using it. Like any "kit" it is what it is a patch. At best it's a "C-"....I would wait till I found a cheap one and sharpie it as was mentioned.

 

im selling my interior door panels if your interested? pm me and well work something out!

 

try a salvage yard also...

 

^ +1 Salvage yard would be my first option for a cheaper replacement

 

ill sell all in side panels cheap plus shipping! $100 for all panels + shipping if interested

 

btw ive yet to come across a salvage yard with an Rx8 in it around me anyway.. sucks cause i had to pay for parts the expensive way as in brand new.

 

Looks like some willing sellers on here...
