The ebay seller from Flarda refunded my money on both rear panels but it wasn't easy. I finally had to threaten getting my bank involved and also leave negative feedback. They actually wanted me to prove I bought other panels (which I did from another ebay seller) in the form of an invoice, , and I refused. I provided pictures and that was enough. The other seller has not responded so I initiated a return. I have messaged them through ebay and direct email. I ordered these black rear panels from another seller and couldn't find a front driver side online for less that $280 so I found one at a local yard for $75 and they let me inspect it first. It definitely needs TLC and paint.

Yep. I’ll wash the hell out of it with Dawn, scrub the whole thing with scotchbrite and denatured alcohol, wipe it down with a new microfiber soaked in denatured, then with a dry one, and then spray it. It’s been my method for years and it works great with the Fusion. Edit: I’m also doing the same with the black ones so they all match perfectly. Along with all the small parts.

I bet if you clean it real good with Super Clean that panel will clean right up.

I used Dawn with scotchbrite and hot water on the armrest and it cleaned up great. And that was the dirtiest part. But yeah forgot about Super Clean, think I’ll get me some.

Seeing the panels in those Lambert Auto Salvage pics has me considering wrapping the top halves of my panels in leather when/if I wrap my dash. Is that top part a separate piece? Looks like there's a seam in front of and behind the armrest. The top and bottom halve look to be slightly different shades, too.

The top half of the panel is 2 separate pieces at that seam, the bottom half isn’t, it’s just molded in. But you can’t separate anything unless you want to mess with unmelting/ remelting all the places where they’re held together. The only removable part is the pull handle/ armrest.

Ugh. Yeah, that's a lot of melt rivets to contend with. I'd be tempted to just cut the leather really accurately and tuck it into the seam with a thin plastic blade. Thanks for the pic!

I got a refund for the other door panel. I pulled the chrome handles off all 3 and put them in acid. The first one is painted, I’ll get pics tonight.
