Default Door cards

This is really interesting, I bought my 2002 with slightly sagging front door cards. The rears and roof still fine, although recently I see some sagging on the front left pillar. The car is under a carport but the left side exposed to sun and weather, likely the cause of the sagging.

The front cards became extremely irritating to look at as rest of the interior was practically perfect, especially with addition of the incredibly rare walnut armrest sourced from a club member.

I was incredibly lucky, thanks to another member, Philou, to obtain a complete set he had from a 2001 car in pristine condition. 3 years later they still perfect, but I always leave my window down a few inches. I just feel that helps to keep the temperature sort of even so it doesn't get to hot or cold inside.

Or, maybe the glue used on 2001 was better quality, or, just lucky.
