Door panel tabs

[stv1991]

Had my passenger door apart yesterday. Noticed that three tabs on the bottom of the panel were broken. Any advice for a repair on these and any pics of the repair?

Thanks in advance..... Robb

I used epoxy putty to create new tabs and fix the old ones.

I bought new ones. Still available and makes the door like new again.

You can also put a screw in with a large diameter washer to secure the door where there is still a small stub of the broken off tab left.

I noticed I have broken tabs as well when I installed the carbon mirrors. Im assuming whoever took door apart in past to install JL Audios.

Anyways, for those that bought new garnish with tabs, what is part number and how much was it? Im assuming its not cheap.

Items: 36/53, 37/54, 38/55. Depending on what you need. Of course, I had to buy all of them but it made my job 100% easier.
