    My interior is almost perfect..... except for my door panel that's falling apart! I had a line on one a couple years ago and it fell through..... haven't spied one since. I'm really hoping someone out there in Buickland has one. It's a 73 Limited... I think that means the door panel is a bit different. It has electric seat controls and electric windows. The panel comes out as an arm rest too, not the flat door panel. If anyone has one please let me know and I'd be happy to buy it off you!

    I haven't seen Garys but I know the set John has are in really good shape. If they weren't green he'd have sold them already.

    I just need the lower half. And I don't suppose you happen to have the screw covers for the upper portion that cover the screws for the handle do you? I would need 5 or 6 probably. That way I have a couple extras when I break some more :Dou:

    I may have one or 2 of the covers. Sold the rest. I will check for the bottom of drivers door & make sure I have it.

    Can't get worse than mine considering the arm rest is falling off! Haha. What would you like for them? Can you snap a quick picture for me? Thanks John.

    mine is split. it is blue. i have a black one some where but I may need that one. the screw covers are the hardest thing to remove I have ever dealt with. I have buggered up a few and broken some removing them. i did find out the body styles after 76 had them on the back seat pull straps. why gm mail the entire car out of steel and use cardboard for door panels and glove box i will never know

    That sounds great! I'm very interested and don't really need to see the pic. I trust you guys on V8Buick, but peace of mind would be cool. I'd love to buy it.

    anyone know why some electras had cloth on the uper portion of the door panel where as others have imitation wood?

    My guess would be either different factories or different options on the car. I don't know everything yet though :Do No:
