I never answered your question. I called my local Pontiac dealer at the time and they told me it was backordered.

... yea... This kind of thing will happen with any car. (Parts going bad after the warranty period is up.) Classic Industries sells a lot of parts for older cars and they carry door panels for every F-body except for the last generation. I'm sure they will have them in stock at some point in the future, but evidently not yet. I'm sure if they get hounded enough, they'll add them to the catalog.

I talked to a CI salesperson once, who wasn't really interested in helping. I didn't go much further because my cracks aren't that bad after re-doing the staples. Maybe someone with a more dramatic case can get a hold of someone higher up at CI, who makes purchasing decisions?

BTW - I checked my panels once and found the address of the molding plant that made the plastic pieces stamped in to the back. I wasn't able to tie that address to an actual company, though.
