  • BMW E36 door panel repair DIY, in this video I repair my brothers BMW door panel that has fallen into disrepair.
    This is a common problem with e36's. The vinyl typically separates from the door panel and bubbles up, and the plastic support pieces break apart.
    I do not go the extra mile and repair the vinyl, as this requires a heat gun, and a special adhesive. I simply pull the panel off, glue back down the plastic brackets, and then replace the clips that hold the door panel to the frame.
    BMW e36 door panel repair is a relatively quick and simple process. Unfortunately if your door panel plastic pieces are completely broken you will have to order new ones.

      AustiNole I really wish I had begun doing these when I was repairing my top, I had an arm attached to mechanism in the top cover that completely rusted off, I ended up replacing it and the top worked just fine afterwards.

    Great instructional video Steven & will be a great help in my DIY door panel fix on my 1994 325iC. Gave me a lot of confidence in trying it. Have just a couple of questions that you did not cover & that is how to remove the side mirror control.& do I just glue the outer panel (white color) on your video. That is my problem, that is separating. I’m thinking of using a Loctite Premium 3X. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks again.

The back seat bench leather has a big rip and I found a 2002 M series a guy is parting out, do you know if this seat will fit my car? I appreciate any help or information. Thanks Jim

    The upper plastic part of my doors came completely out of the door panel.
    Any suggestion to align them so I can glue in place?
    Cheers from Brazil.

      Are they broken into pieces or die they just come off? The ones on my brothers cars broke into pieces. If you still have the whole thing I believe the top is like the side pieces in that it only fits into the grooves a certain way.

      The plastic just came loose from the door panel.
      I`ll try something soon.
      tks man.

    How do you remove the covers from the back speakers on the convertible ? I see this car has them off.

    • @e36fanatics29

      Todd Bahrs it's really quick to do actually, they have tabs that slide in and out like the door handle. They are known to crack overtime however and I've seen people super glue them before.
