Door panel top part

[DeVilliers]

Morning all,

Not sure what you call it, but on the door panel you have the curved plastic top part.
My is looking a bit tired.
The left is still complete, although a bit cracked, the right side is missing a piece.

Does anyone have or know of a 3D printing model available?
I'm think of fixing it with fibreglass, but a 3D printed one would be better.

I'm not even sure what exactly that part is called, so Google is not helping

Thanks

No idea what it is called either, but a 3 d part would be wonderful!  Thats one of those parts that goes bad and not reproduced. When I was salvaging my set of door panels I rebuilt mine with fibreglass, which turned out ok, and wasnt really a bad job to do. After building your front end, you should be able to do this piece in your sleep

I don't know why it isn't offered.  When you order complete mew panthey have/us a stamped metal one.

Yeah sure, it's not difficult to do, but as you also say 3D would be wonderful to have.
