Default Driver side interior door panel.

Does anyone know if just the center section of the driver's side door panels are replaceable? I fixed(?) the armrest on mine sometime ago but....... I've located complete panels but none so far with speakers in the A pillars.

If you know how to plastic weld and can identify the plastic used, yes. The pegs are put through and essentially riveted with a hot iron. I think somebody on here used the a-pillar from a ram and a heat gun to make it fit.

Plastic weld? Pfft drill the studs and clamp everything in place then fill with jb weld or a similar epoxy (wouldn't use jb qwik though)

Also here is the door panel with the tweeter.

My 2006 driver's side is cracked at the point where my elbow rests. Can I ask how you fixed it?

Default I fixed mine with JB Weld Plastic Weld

Mine did the exact same thing where my elbow was always placed. Plastic underneath cracked and piece actually fell out, but did not tear the pleather skin. Took the interior door panel off and flipped it upside down and used JB Weld Plastic Weld. Just make sure you layer it on thick and bond it with some good plastic. You can even put pieces of metal across the crack and epoxy them in for extra support. I've had no problems with mine for the past seven months.

I did exactly like Danesmess, but on mine the pleather cracked, so there are hard seams that are a bit scratchy. Other than that, it's working great!
