Trim / Door Cards

[Nmd14]

Hi All,

3 years ago I had leather trim applied to my door cards. Annoyingly, the trimmers fitted padding that was too thick and the window winder handle is forever becoming detached and falling off.

The place that did the work is too far away for me to return to so I wondered if anyone could recommend a trimmer close to SW London.

Am doing NC500 in April and it would be nice to be able to open and close windows!

Thanks,

Nick D.

Go to ebay and type fiat door handle clips
They look the same type that solved the same problem that I had with the handle falling off. They are much more robust than the Datsun clips and will keep the handle firmly attached. However, once on they are very difficult to get off again. Also, whether you will then be able to rotate the handle with the padding is for you to consider.

Otherwise, I have two pairs of leather-trimmed door cards that I could off-load

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a go on the driver's side but will need to sort the trim on the passenger side.

That should be a great tour, one on my list!

I hope so!

If you are thinking of doing it, book your accommodation well in advance. I'll post my route and the hotels we used when I'm back.
