interior door panel metal brackets (Page 1/1)

Hi

i have a small problem with my door cards / interior door panels.
the problem is that the small metal brackets that have been pressed into the cardboard inner plate, (2 per panel) has been ripped out when a former ower took the panels of.

so in order to get the panel back on the car, i need to reproduce these in some way.

is there anyone who can guide me how to do this and glue them back in, in a way that will hold up? or maybe even somewhere i can can new ones?

Post pictures of the panels where the plates are supposed to be.

Also the plates. WE might be able to redneck engineer something which will work.

Also, welcome to the Forum.

sorry about the late answer, i ended up bending some new ones out of sheet metal and gluing them on with construction adheasive

But you did close the loop which is very rare...Well Done!

It is sad that many PFF members will not report back on the overall findings or outcome of "whatever" the task may be.

Sorry I missed this. I would have recommended doing something similar. You can buy replacements online, they're basically pressed in, but you can use Gorilla Glue (which works really well, but takes as long as construction adhesive to set), and that'll keep them in there pretty much forever.
