Strange though, the door pockets on my 89 are super brittle (glued over and over - like everything in the car).
But I found an early 80s GLT in the junker a while back, the plastic in there was great - I took the door pockets from it, not brittle at all! and they have the manufacturer stamped date on them I think it was 83...
Too bad I could't find the car again to take the center consol from it too.

I guess at some point they changed their plastic procurement process...
