Door cards

[Calibra_Mike]

Is there any way, well easy way to fix door cards or the rear cards when the door card material comes away from the door (the typical problem Calibras suffer from)

[big_gordy]

yes! get new ones lol

[Calibra_Mike]

I meant can they be heated up and restuck down? but yeah new ones is pretty much the best option, apart from the cost...

[big_gordy]

what colour u got cream or black?

there is a way but it dont work all the time but there are a few on here who have managed to do it! i think robbie may be 1 of tehm iir

[Calibra_Mike]

cream...

The worse one is the passenger rear card...

I wouldn't mess about repairing and go for replacement..cheap and plenty on ebay!..I've known others repair them by gluing down but I bet they don't look as good.

I've tried many different ways of fixing those door cards and nothing work. Better off sourcing some better cards.

My replacement passenger front card is starting to go, and my drivers side rear went last week

I'll go for new one too.
You can find some on ebay cheap or even here, in sale section.

I had same problem as you, was trying to fix them... but finally I bought new ones from ebay

I thought of cutting round the top section with a scalpel and peeling the vinyl back...coating the surface in spray adhesive and rolling the vinyl back on while heating it.....

anyone ever tried that?

Yep tried that and it didn't work. The biggest problem is that the vinyl is stretched and vacuum sealed to the card, once it lifts you ain't got no hope of keeping it glued together.

@rse!....re-trimming is the other option then.

IMO just go and buy some from ebay.
