Door cards for 1986 190e

[190lad]

Having received great help from you guys regarding original alloy wheels for my little baby - I'm now requesting the next piece of advice!! (Promise to get a pic on here soon)

I've got a 1986 190e, in silver with black interior but both the door cards on the driver side are shot - the driver side I have made a fairly bodgy repair with black tape (to hide the gap) but the rear is awful - the cardboard (what it basically seems to be constructed of) has perished and lost it's crispness, so there is no way I can get the top of the door card to meet the clips which hold it in.

A neighbour of mine has a '91 model which has the same problem, so to cut a very long story short.... :roll: it's obviously something which is common on the 201's but I was wondering if anyone had either spares (cos I dont' want to have to redo all four doors or at worst the interior!!) or any bright ideas as to how to rectify the problem.

Ta very much!
Gav.

I presume your car has the smaller check pattern fitted to the pre-facelift cars.
You could try the scrappy's or e-bay.All later door cards should fit.Just watch out for 'leather' door cards that came from the 1.8's, they are actually vinyl so don't pay top prices for them.
It's a common problem on 190's, mine is just startng to lift on the nearside rear door and all you can do is find good replacements

Cheers bazza,

Yeh - it's pre facelift so small check pattern - I'll do a trawl through breakers etc when i'm back at work.

Thanks for your help and advice last time re. alloys - I'm afraid in the end I went for the original 15" which I've only put on this weekend - the difference though is tremendous!!!

Thanks again.

Gav.
