Gutting Front doors

macdude357 · 11-19-2020, 01:39 PM

For those of you that have replaced their front door panels with the lightweight replacements, what did you do about the power mirror and window controls? Can they be remounted to the replacement card?

Which door cards are you looking at? Short answer is, yes (in most cases).

I got these for my track car. Relatively inexpensive and quick shipping from the U.K. Not too refined but in my case that wasn't important. And you can keep the mirror and window switches.

Can second track car door cards, i love mine.

i know this doesn't help you now, but when the time comes, i'm going to relocate the window and mirror switches to the center console plate below where the radio would be.

Thought you were gonna say "just drill it full of holes".

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Initially, I was bummed since I have an E90 but they have E90 door cards too!

i can't commit to anything, but i'd love to. trying to hit a few goals first. my car and rusty skills aren't very competitive, but i love the group camaraderie.
