I have a 98 V70 with ugly bubbling door panels. What other years will fit? Don't really care too much about styling, just as long as they fit. Got some tan ones to sell at a reasonable price?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Have you thought of repairing it? I can imagine several things to do if the rest of the panel is good.

 

Sure, I've thought about repairing it...the center part that sags is not an insert and shares the same upholstery. The whole panel would need to be repaired.

I've tried a heat gun to try to re-stretch the material, but that didn't work.

If anyone has any good suggestions, I'll take em...

Pull the panel, drill a hole thru the backing at the center of the bubble. Inject some adhesive. Apply vacuum to pull the material to the backing.

 

That's a good concept, but the material has shrunk so much, that it cannot even be forcibly pushed back into place by hand, even after heating it up. Would take one hell of a super-sucker vac to pull it in, and if it did would not stay.
