New Door Seals and Panels

Last week I replaced the door seals and installed new door panels on my 1986 IROC. I ordered the seals from Eckler's and the new panels from Stock Interiors, both were good products, made well and installed easily.

That came out nice. A little quieter with the new seals?

Looks great!

Out of curiosity, do you have pictures of the back of the panels? I'm thinking about replacing mine and it would cool to see how these are put together. Thanks!

Sorry I didn't think to take any pics of the back side of the new panels, so I'll do my best to describe it. They glued the cloth and carpet material to a dark colored hard board type of material; it's not that same as the stock board, but it seems to be very sturdy and looks like it'll hold up as good as the stock panels did.

No worries, I appreciate the additional info. Was curious about the rigidity and quality, so that answers my question. Thanks!
