Door Pocket Repair (on the cheap)

[targa80]

I have already posted the repair of my drivers door interior hardboard panel and this is a continuation of that project by refurbish/repair the door pocket. The door pocket screw holes were broken and I had a crack in the molded open area of the pocket.

I peeled back the glued carpet and the glued leather where the pocket was damaged. I used a mesh with black clips to cover where the damaged areas.






Filled the mesh with JB Weld at the damaged areas.







Used light layer of bondo to cover the mesh and smooth out the repairs. Used 3m satin black rattle can to recolor the pocket. Used Contact cement to re-glue the carpet and leather and the black clips to hold the material to the pocket. Dyed the leather strip and cleaned the carpet. Just need to re-drill the holes and reinstall into the car.
