Where to fix door panel?

[jasonk]

since my door panel on e36 is really koyak kau kau, wonder if any bros here know whats the best solution. Please no DIY cause will sure drag another year or so lol. Issue is mainly with clips + wood board thats reput already. Buying the door panel or ask those leather accessories shop to fix it? How much does buying the door panel cost and does anyone knows where can i find one that sells door panel?Really wanna fix this issue, cause now its creating an issue that i cant lock my car. Everytime i try to lock it i will unlock itself mainly thinking that one of my doors arent close properly.

You're talking about the door card ya? Can be found in chop shops la but I don't know the price.

Door clips you can buy from any of the BMW stockist around.

TQ for reply, door card is the brown color card board?
haih not a very chop shop person. Can anyone introduce or is it better just throw to a leather seats accessory shop?

You mean the brownish card board inside the door is rotten? I'm not sure if a leather upholstery shop can fix but you can try asking.

The door card is basically the whole panel that covers the door.

If yes please advice on their workmanship. And whether after repair removing the door card is as good as original or they have some extra screws in.

Im having issue finding door card so this is the other alternative.

Find out the price first. It might be cheaper to just get good conditioned door cards from chop shop.

There is a small lock that activates when you lock your car at the petrol lid. If you open the lid you will notice a small black thing around the edges of the body panel. If it doesn't lock means the actuator for that is most probably kaput.
