Has anyone else had rear quarter panel pull back? Any thoughts on repair, or do i need to replace the entire quarter panel?

thanks!

 

Have an upholstery shop fix it. That will cost a LOT less than a new part, which isn't available anyway. You'd have to scour the breakers' inventory and hope to find one. I'd think it'd be best to do both sides if the color isn't spot-on the rest of the interior.

 

thank you

 

I tried several upholstery shops, no joy. Most were up front and said they couldn't match the color, the one that said he could, couldn't. I finally found a useable panel at Pacific Motors (breaker)

 

Have seen them pop up on eBay occasionally, but few and far between (sold by breakers, as Cee Jay said). Get the part number (don’t have the parts catalog handy) and try googling for it, you might get lucky. Just make sure to check any pictures carefully, no need to buy one in worse shape than your own.

 

thank you, ill dig out the part number and start my search. Also will try upholster folks and see what they say. Appreciate the feedback.

 

If it isn't torn / missing pieces, can't see why any upholstery shop couldn't glue the original material back down (thinking the endless posts about dash leather shrinkage...).

 

I think looking at the pictures, repairing the existing material is a no go

 

Anyone come up with a part number for this panel?

Edit: I found it.

Interior Quarter Panel Trim Panel (Rear, Lower)

Part Number: C2P17408RGH
Supersession(s): C2P10242RGH

Baaaahahahhaa $2k for new part.

 

I recently took mine apart to replace it as the seat had rubbed against it, not a difficult job to remove.

Check with these guys, they are usually pretty handy for parts or having unlinsted stock.

This is for a couple but you can still message them or call them.

@restd The damage is not unusual for Florida and Texas cars.
Part numbers are different for coupe and convertible. Part number may not help your search.
Use the OEM nomenclature: Interior quarter trim panel (rear lower).
Used panels should come with working sliding cover/doors or be discounted, dollars off.
If doors are missing: suspect damaged track. More discount if you want to disassemble and reuse your track.
Unless you are lucky enough to find a pristine replacement:
1. remove your quarter panels for inspection, and if good, repair.
2. locate black leather or leatherette suitable for repair.
Imitation is easy to find. The real thing may be salvaged from damaged XK, XF or other parts.
3. Carry the panels and material to a shop or do it yourself.

Keep us posted on your results.
