WTB: W108 Parchment Front Door Caps
I'm looking for a good pair of W108 Parchment (ivory) front door caps. They're the plastic pieces that clip onto the top of the door panels.

Good luck, fleabay sells these for $$$ but I have never seen parchment ones.
I have seen pretty decent results with recovering in vinyl. Mine are cracked and it is probably the most annoying thing to me in the car. You might be able to get Fibernew to fix them. - they are a national franchise. |

FYI: I have noticed that my SE cars do not have metal trim along the window edge while my SEL cars do. I have cracked door caps on my SE and luckily got a parts SEL in the same interior color. I am transferring the front door panel caps, but they aren’t going to match the rear. Due to this piece of metal trim, and I don’t have the guts to attempt to remove it either.
I might have some front door caps, but honestly don’t know. Have you considered buying some interior paint? Recovering your existing ones?

The problem with mine is that they're cracked at the tops as if the previous owner(s) have driven the windows down and elbows on them while the top of their hands are at the top of the window frames (hope that makes sense). That's the only logical assumption I can make on those specific cracks. I haven't thought about re-covering my existing ones since the're plastic and sort of "glossy". I figure re-covering them will make it obvious there's material wrapping them. Unless I do it to all 4 but the rears are perfect. And none of mine are warped, just the cracks on the front ones. If you do have a set, please message me with photos! |

I've seen front parchment ones sell on eBay but were in bad shape (worse than mine). It's just that this interior isn't so common so they're hard to come by or people don't know what color parchment is, haha. |

And it remains a mystery whether you are seeking parts for an SE or SEL.
