As with most 1st gen owners, my door cards have reached the end of the road and are in need of replacement.
Luckily, a pair of compatible XLT/STX/EB door panels with manual windows fell into my lap.
Problem is: I can get the stains out with a handheld carpet cleaner, but the structure has become warped from water damaged.
Does anyone have any experience with refurbing these? Or is there a way to potentially flatted the out the backer bard?
My first thought was an ironing board and steam but figured that would separate the fabric from the board.
I would hate to buy a bunch of new retention clips and install only for the problem to exacerbate.
