Got an estimate to fix 960 door panels where the glue on the upper vinyl gave way 900 1995

As so many of you know, Volvo used an experimental glue on some 960s. It worked well in the cool environment of Europe but not in the heat of the US. The door lining just under the windows on all four doors has come loose due to this experimental glue. Yesterday I took it to a trim shop to get an estimate on repairing it. He said he could not repair the existing vinyl material due to the fact that it will try to pull back to the original position. I asked if he could just completely recover the upper door with new material. He said he could but that it would have small seams at the corners which I feel would still look better than what I have now. The seams will not be very noticeable and not at all when the doors are closed. He quoted me $600.00 for all four doors. I think this is very resonable compared to volvo replacement doors at $400.00 each. Just wanted to let you know that you should talk with your local trim shop if you want to fix your doors.

Regards,

Jim
