Does anybody know where i can get both interior door panels from. I really need these because mine are completely falling off. Is there an online place or does anybody have anything for sale?

Mine are falling off too. I used different types of adhesive and just recently used JB weld. Still not fully secured.

What happens is a plastic mount looses from the door panel which needs to be reglued.

There are some directions to remove the door panel here (http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7801).
When you do it you should have some extra clips because some may be broken.

New door panels are expensive for what they are.

No i didnt, but i took it to a shop and they said i need completely new ones, because the material is completely deteriorated. Does anybody know a place to get them? How much do they run? I am looking into buying all new clips. Will this help?

The clips will hold the panel on if its just broken clips that is your problem.

If the door cards have rotted, then obviously this will not help. If you find mould or likewise on them, check the foam inserts and the butane that holds the foam on for leaks, otherwise it will happen to your next set of panels.
