I had my door replaced from an accident awhile back. After awhile, this part started to rust...I guess there were no vinyl that came with it. Does anyone know where I can order this vinyl sheet? I went to the dealership and they just told me they don't know what to do about it :wtf2:

Were the repairs paid for by your insurance? If so, many insurance companies warranty the repair for the life you own the car. Id look into that first.

Well this was actually like more than a year back lol. I don't want to call them up and say that the company that worked on my car messed up after a year. Besides, I'm sure this probably would only cost a few dollars.

buy some vinyl and do it yourself.. you can use this as an excuse to give it some customization like color or carbon fiber.

This is exactly what you do. I had an accident in March of 2008, somewhere in the summer of 2009 my headlights started fogging, bumper was hanging oddly, a bunch of other small things went wrong. I called insurance and had all of it fixed free of charge. They even fixed a few scratches on that same pillar where someone tried to break into my car.
