Red 87 GTA

ok i have a 87 gta with carmine interior and i need to replace old door panels (old faded, ripped and the tracks on the back are falling off). ive looked everywhere for new GTA door panels does anyone make em or is it just one of those things that does not have enough demand yet?

I've emailed Classic Industries about getting some reproduced, but all I got was the standard "There doesn't seem to be enough interest in getting these reproduced." Almost as though they're neglecting a whole model of the Firebird/TransAm and the fact that even base models could get the GTA door panels... As for the not enough interest, I wouldn't know about that... It seems like every time a set that isn't gray (or even gray) appears either here or on eBay, which I check a lot, people ****** them up really quick even for more than what Classic wants for new "standard" panels...

Maybe a number of us should sign a petition or send some people some emails or something to let some of the aftermarket suppliers know that there IS interest in these door panels...

Good idea. The way you get a part like that made is to make the demand known.

this sucks though i looked around and the base panels will fit but i need to hack them up so my armrest bracket will fit and i realy liked the GTA panels but the dam bracket that holds the clips broke off so i guess i need to buy base door panels.

In order to use the base door panels, you need to replace a. the armrest, and b. the armrest bracket, along with c. the door handle/door lock/remote mirror control trim.

Half of the brackets on my factory GTA door panels, well, I still have them, but they're not attached to the panels... The panels still attach fine. I think one of us should experiment with some glues to see what holds the brackets in place best. All I know for sure is that hot glue DOESN'T work... The interior of the car and of the door (with black paint) gets too hot and the glue melts.

im going to try screwing the door panel to the door around the edge with finish screws and washers if i do it (sometime in the spring ill post pics of what it looks like)

ok ive looked around some and will these work with only a cut to the arm rest area so the full span support in a GTA will fit through http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/fi...placement.aspx
