Time to work on my Door Panel idea that has bouncing around in my head for the last couple years.
Step one remove the water barrier and test out my concept.
I installed the door handle screws from the back side to see if the holes in the door panels actually line up.
As suspected not even close.
Cloth Door Pulls and temporary hardware.
Off to Home Depot for temporary hardware.
First mock up.
Door Panels
Good News the screws popped through as did the window crank stud.
I drilled out the screw holes and installed NutZerts.
I also applied a little bit of paint and primer in one on the freshly drilled holes.
This sucked. Take your time and go slow as you don't want to poke a hole in the nice leather.
All that is left is to cut out the hole for the door handle.
I installed a 1" washer under each of the door pulls to protect the leather.
