Does anyone know how to, or know a firm that can repair the famous saggy armrest syndrome on S2 or any mk4 front door cards

 

i know a few people have used fiberglass to do it but id say try and get another door card.

 

if you look closely you can see how i did mine.........

wood vynil [ spelling ?? ] and fibreglass



unless you buy a new card and then strengthen it from behind , the one in the photo is totally shagged underneath , but now with the new repair job its rock solid , and ive since done the handles too...

alright mate i had this problem! i got hold of another set that wernt saggin!

but that had the vinyl liftin!

so in the end i had some alcantara pads made and fixed to the arm rests!

ill get some pics up later!

otherwise its fibreglass on the inside! i know twins has done this mod to his!

 

Yep lashings af fiberglass matting underneath with resin ,rock hard

 

exactly what ive gotta do b4 i put mine back on as although mine arent sagging yet, i keep catchin myself leaning on that part wen like stuck in traffic etc

 

Couldn't have put it better myself, did my old XR3i like this and it worked a treat, was better than new and never failed!

 

the hardboard they're made out of soaks it up a treat as well

defo the way to go with them, mine will never sag now
