Door insert repair
As some of you know, I bought a set of 'myrtle on platinum' door inserts from A8 Parts (similar to Neil's), but the trim in the door pull below the 'wood' bit is in a pretty poor state on some of them.
It appears to be a kind of rubberised material and it's been picked off in parts. Does anyone know where I could get this fixed?

Jim,
I think you can't fix them as it is impossible to separate lower plastic bit from upper metal/'wood' bit What I can suggest is to return them back to A8parts and ask to change them to fully plastic ones. You need those without wood effect metal stuff on them. Color is not important. I bet they will come in terrible condition. Then bring them to people who paint cars and ask them to paint those plastic things 'soul black' or whatever colour you need. Of course, matte finish and not lacquered. Body shop will understand. The beauty of this approach is that you can repair those things while they get scratched with time, so this solution is forever. I have repaired that way L-shaped seat memory button surrounds in front doors and very happy with result.

I've seen a guy on Quattroworld respray that section himself after masking and rubbing it down - do a search. Doesn't look all that difficult to do to be honest. My drivers side one is a bit rough, but others are fine.

As to Brian's suggestion - well, SWMBO could walk in on me whilst I was Googling that!

@ The_Laird - Iv got that set of trim you gifted me rubbed down & sprayed to match the colour of the car.
I doubt you will be able to re-rubberise any of it, however there are alternative options out there. |

Do any of the options allow me to keep the 'wood' trim?

I have been meaning to re-paint these bits too (just the plactic hand hold part). The prevous owners wife must have had a lot of rings, because the rubber finish on the passanger side is scratched to bits.
I have read about plastidip, but is it durable enough? There are other rubber-type coatings, I may give this one a try. Just have to mask the wood trim when working on the plastic hand-hold attached to it. I hope the wood is easy to separate from the door? http://www.advancedrubbercoatings.co...80/page/759980 |
