My car has the original deluxe interior, but drivers panel had a 1” “star” crack where your elbow rests. That led me to start this replacement adventure. Now I’m wishing I’d just put electrical tape over the crack, lol.
Bought one set of panels on eBay years ago, they looked nice but were pretty warped and 250% thicker than the originals. That caused the window cranks not to reach and interference with door closure at the front and rear jams. Tried a new set of OER panels, but found them to have similar thickness issues, but less warpage. I guess I’ll have to try the Al Knoch panels next. Just amazed the big restoration houses can’t faithfully replicate the original design. I have a stock panel I’d donate to the cause!
