vinyl source for rs door panels?
Looking for a source to get the correct vinyl for 73 rs door panels for my rs clone. Appbiz doesn't appear to sell the vinyl by itself, so wondering if anyone knows of a good source for purchasing that material. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe check with Autos International. I ordered from them and had a great experience. They will send you samples too.

I spoke with a local upholstery shop who recommended going to my local fabric store and use marine grade vinyl (used for boats and resists UV ray).
Everything you see in the picture below was originally tan and now covered in black vinyl from Joann's Fabric. All marine grade. I purchased a new A.B.S. door pocket and covered it in vinyl rather than carpet. The basket weave was influenced by Singer! ![]() Last edited by Brian Fuller; 11-19-2016 at 11:12 AM.. |

I'm the last guy to ask about 'correct,' but I'll offer to anyone clicking on the thread that you can substitute corrugated plastic for the cardboard in the door panels and have a waterproof door that's also lighter. (I also replaced the heavy foam door-top pieces with a piece of shaped aluminum for more weight savings.)

Pelican says they have it and it is from AppBiz...that is how I interpret this:

More specifically, they have a few of these depending on the year of your car:
