Does anyone know of replacement door panels for 1988 Beretta. Or is junk yard only option?

junk yard is the only option, what color is your interior

You can swap in a newer dash and then use the newer door panels.

I have the burgundy interior! i am a fiberglass tech and have been thinking about making a mold for mine and making some glass ones for mine! I have an 88 not sure what years were the same. Seat belts seem to be the problem with them. Like to know of different options on getting rid of the door mounted belts.

Nope SMS auto fabrics I believe sent for samples they have nos material from the manufacturers pricey but by far the best of the best quality

I'm a fiberglass tech so was thinking about making some molds off my old panels and making fiberglass replicas! Not sure the years those would fit. Seems the seat belts attached to the doors is what cause most of the problems. Wonder if there are any options on the belt situation?

The door panels are actually 3 separate sections, that were then plastic welded together. I could take some pictures as I have the panels off my parts car. There is the "panel", the handle and armrest, and map pocket.

The map pockets are so FREAKIN FRAGILE though...

Yes I have mine apart right now. Been thinking about the seat belt thing before I decide on molds. If I keep the belts as is. I would reinforce the spots where the belts come out at. Will keep posting what I come up with.

Wish we could get a plastic moulding company to reman those map pockets for us mines broke off the lower door panel and someone screwed it back on

You can get anything molded for you or made for you, Rapid prototyping is very easy if you have a drawing of the part... Just no one on this site wants to pay the price for it.

With the rapidly falling prices of 3D printing, I'd love to find a place that could handle the size of the map pockets. That way I could request that certain areas be beefed up, such as screw holes and clip attachment points...

I'm sure plenty of the older style interior guys like ourselves travelor would love the hell out of that because everyone knows how fragile they are I already need 2 sets for both my cars

I had an idea of laying epoxy or fiberglass down on the plastic and vinyl areas, smoothing them out, then laying vinyl wrap over them. Not mad tyte carbon fiber print, just something subtle yet durable.

I have the older style panels with the upsweeping arm. As for the AIDS infected map pocket, I'd love to delete it from the panel completely. It serves no purpose but to break.

The door panels wouldn't look right without the pockets there, the problem is they were made with almost zero support. Accidental half-ass kick getting out? Busted map pocket!

I'd like to be able to have they curve in a bit like newer panels, and beefier attachment points. The screw holes crack and break way too easily.
