  • Door Panel Repair

    Ok, i bought the new front fender and will do that myself. Here is a picture of the crack in my drivers side door. Any suggestions on how to repair this myself. From what i have read on the forum, the door is not the same material as the fender? Any help would be great, i really dont want to spend $600 to have this fixed

    The fender is a composite plastic. Your doors are fiberglass. It is going to have to be repaired and re-painted. If you have never worked with fiberglass before, it would probably be best to let a professional tackle the job.

        I had light damage like that on my drivers door after a small accident involving my garage door. I decided to replace the door and found one for $150 shipped to my house. I paid $400 to have it painted and bolted it up myself. The door is new now.

        The damage on your door is not likely on just the surface. There is structure behind that panel that is likely also damaged or cracked. Just fixing the visible damage to the surface will not get you a complete repair. For as cheap as doors are I would suggest you just get a different one. As common as white is you might even find one the same color.
