Mine were cracked and broken and I almost choked when I saw the cost of new door panels. I took mine apart and glued them back together. I filled in the cracks, sanded them down and painted them with plastic paint. Then snaps were all busted off so I attached them to the doors with finish washers. The darn drivers side cracked again when I was screwing the panel onto the door, note the upper left screw in the picture, I said the heck with it and left it that way. They look pretty good and with a retired income and a lot of time on my hands it was definitely the cheaper route.

These are mine, still a work in progress. For interior panels, I always use 1/8" ABS as a backer. Easy to form and cut. 1/4" landau foam on top, then cover with your choice of material. I used brown leather for the main panel, and black leather with diamond pleats on another piece of ABS for the insert.
