    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    Sure, as I have said in an earlier post, there are several options available plus almost any color you want. I chose this particular screw option because I personally liked how it looked with my instrument panel. All of this depends of course on how much people are willing to spend on this.

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    And boom there you go. Nothing available except replacing the part with the same defective part at $200.00 each. What would be the price people would be willing to pay for the machined and anodized solution I came up with? This part is not going to break, the door will have to be destroyed first!

    How much are Gen IV strips?

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    Yup, that would be the entire point of this topic and the solution that I crafted. It appears from the tenor of the latest comments is that everyone just wants to do R&D and create their own solution which is entirely fine by me. The point is that it can be done. Good luck to you all and let...

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    Moved to Miami for law school and the beautiful weather. I tried the super glue option several times, it is just a patch job as they will peel and buckle up again, perhaps in a different place until the strips are entirely cracked and worthless.

    Removing the door panel?

    Remove it carefully but be aware there is a good chance you are going to damage/break the flimsy and fragile plastic strips that are on top of the door panel. Use extra caution because they apparently run $1K to replace which is really not worth it. You can see the comments/solutions here if...

    I am originally from Milwaukee and so is my Viper. What did you come up with so far?

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    No doubt. All options as to the fasteners are on the table. All depends on the interest though. I am told, every single Viper has or will have this problem. Somewhat surprised that given that fact, there is not more interest for a solution as I hardly think people are forking over $1K for...

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    Thanks. That was precisely my thought, the broken strips really took the interior of the car way down. Sure was not going to replace them with the same faulty materials. I will let you know about sales provided there is enough interest to warrant making more of these.

    Sure, all of that is possible.

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    I spoke to a dealer about this and was told that the strips were not sold separately, that you actually had to replace the entire door panel.

    Can't please everyone. I would love to see your solution though.

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    I am working on that. If there is interest, I will most likely be selling them myself as I will work with the manufacturer. There can be three different style versions and the aluminium can be anodized to the color of your choice. They are simple to install and would come with all the parts...

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    That was my style choice to match the look of the center console that has billet screws as well. There is another option to make it a two piece strip without the fasteners but that extra piece and machining would increase the price.

    Alright, here we go with photos of the anodized aluminium replacement part with stainless steel billet screws:

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    My Viper is an everyday driver in South Florida and with all that heat, so far no problem with the aluminium strips. In fact, my elbow barely can touch them even if I rest my arm on the window. Given the interest, I will try to get the photos up by tomorrow. I am definitely thinking about...

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    Okay, I came up with a custom solution involving a machined aluminium strip that was anodized black with stainless steel billet screws. Looks incredible. This solution will last longer than the door itself. Less expensive than the brittle replacement part. The door looks finished and...

    Solutions for peeling interior plastic door strips?

    I have a 2003 vert and the interior plastic door strips (on top of door right next to the window) for both doors have cracked and/or peeled at least twice now for me. What kind of replacement parts or solution are there for these flimsy trim pieces?

    Tire Choice for Everyday Ride?

    Pretty convincing response by all! Thanks for the input. By the way, this all comes to bear because I did get 2 LARGE construction nails/screws in one of my rear tires just recently.

    Tire Choice for Everyday Ride?

    I use by 2003 Vert as an everyday rider. Getting close to the time where I will need to replace the tires. Running stock run flats now. I know everyone raves about the PS2 versus the run flat but is the performance boost worth the risk of being stranded?

    Viper the Most Collectible Car

    We might be talking apples and oranges here. The article stated nothing about value or investment, rather only what it deemed to be collectible and perhaps in high demand in the future. Now on to the topic of value, I think if you only do the math, that being not a significant amount of...

    Viper the Most Collectible Car

    Yahoo News recently reported the five most collectible cars for the future and listed the Viper first. :2tu: I think this is something that we already knew. Happy to see that those in the auto industry agree. A copy of the article is attached.

    No that was not me but that certainly would have been interesting. Not sure that I would have understood a single word that he had to say though!

    Dodge Dealer dmage to my Viper

    I am a Viper owner and lawyer here in SoFla. Give me a call at my office 305.373.3826 and I will see if I can help you. My initial reaction is they are liable and you may be able to get diminished value as well. I just handled my own diminished value claim down here for a guy that slammed...
