I noticed you live in AZ which is probably the reason, does your car mostly sit outside? cheap material and sunny days, buy another one on here.

I think you hold the record for longest thumb lol. Mine are cracked too. Just about the same size. I was gonna buy some more door panels but whats the use when they're just gonna crack again? When my car becomes my summer weekend driver(soon) i'll buy used ones cause I don't think you can buy new ones.

The leather interior door panels dont crack (or atleast dont show them). It may be an option for you, even if you have cloth seats and such- just a thought.

Just buy some 93-97 panels from the junkyard. They're only like $25 each here, and those years don't crack.
