You can buy them new on Ebay. I just bought a new set for my Buddy's son's 98 Ranger fir his birthday. His got that slightly warped look from this Florida heat. I paid $75 with shipping for the pair. You have to take off the door panel. Takes me about 6-8 min to get one off. You just got to be careful when you do it. I have a door panel puller (flat blade tool made for the panels). You can use a screw driver but just be careful with a screw driver.

Does your year truck have the arm rest molded in? My year has a replaceable one that attaches from inside the door panel. I searched Ebay and found several door panels in great shape. Several different colors. Search Ford Ranger door panel 1991 and you will see a bunch of them come up. Hope this helps you out.

yeah mine is bolted to the door panel from the back side..

I'd look for a new girlfriend...sounds like she has issues...lol...

You may be able to find them in the junkyard...I haven't found one for my 88 and had to replace it with one from a Suzuki Sidekick (mostly because I had a Zuki and took one off when I scraped it)...works great, but I need to replace the panel now...

same happened on my passenger side, very common on the second gens I lucked out and found a pair of XLT door panels with perfect arm rests that I haven't put on yet...

Since we are on the subject of door panels... I hate the second gen door panels. Has anyone every swapped 3rd gen door panels on to a second gen door?
