I have a '94 Sierra that was missing door panels when I got it. The door panels I found don't match and I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to make them look better. The donor trucks both had manual windows and the right door panel had a badge inset just above the trim panel where the door trim inset goes. How could I fill in that small rectangle (maybe 1"tall x 1.75"long x 1/8"deep) and the two window crank holes? These panels don't have any velour on them, they're 100% plastic to bottom and I'd prefer to leave them this way, so I'd like the patches to blend in. I'm sure there's a way to weld abs plastic but I'd like the seams to be as close to invisible as I can get. Would body filler break out of the plastic in severe weather extremes or constant door shutting? I've dyed these medium grey and the color looks great but I don't know if that dye would work if sprayed over body filler.
If anyone has priced new door panels lately, you'll know new panels can cost more than a used engine so I'm dead set on using these.
Thanks in advance for any tips on how to make these things look like they belong!
