Door card repairs

Post by t.ridden » Tue Jun 10, 2014 10:29 pm

Hi all, couldn't see an interiors forum so I'm putting this here;

The door cards in my L series are severely suffering from a combination of hard life, UV exposure and ingrained dirt.

The stuff that's peeling appears to be a thin vinyl layer on top of 5mm of low density foam, on top of some pretty solid plastic mould.

My thought is to remove ALL off the foam/vinyl from the plastic moulding and replace it with marine carpet or something similarly hard-wearing, but that won't be as harsh on my elbow.

Thoughts, experiences, suggestions?

Will do steptoe, not sure how common they are in good nick, but I'm not fussed on colour so might get lucky.
