Mercedes Benz 190E W201 | Door Panel Fix | Türpappen Reparieren

[@bowman25372]

I really lol'd when you said every 190e owner knows what I'm talking about, haha I feel the pain

[@KUNIQUE]

I’ve never received so much messages on a story on Instagram as I’ve received to the door panels. I think I hit a nerve there 😂

[@Jonas-hh9fu]

The glue is sadly one of the few Werkstors of this car😕, but overall I’m just utterly satisfied with my example. You can just feel that Mercedes let the engineers do what they thought was necessary to build the best product possible. I have a 1988 2.0 190e with 129000 km and it’s still going strong. With some love and the usual maintenance these cars will stay with us for a long time.

Just bought a 190e after a friend who owns one recommended I join the club. Safe to say this video is the single biggest aid I need to restore mine!

[@KUNIQUE]

Welcome to the club and congrats! I'm happy if I could help :)

[@thatblue_190e]

This channel is so useful keep up the great work !!

[@KUNIQUE]

Thank you, Jarnail! Much appreciated.

[@scherritknoesen148]

Great video. Some of the older door cards are made of softer more porous material and they soften and crumble badly so the tops are very hard to reform. Yours look great! Good job!

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks Scherrit!

[@andrevanderwalt69]

Is it really the case that the older ones are more prone to this, I just thought because they were older they of course first develop the faults first? I have a 1993, and my cards are perfect, so I hope that you're right that the newer ones are more resistant!

[@h.lkarch5994]

Great job I sold my super clean clean 190E because of the doors peeling in hot summer. This is great idea to fix the problem. Thanks

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks for the nice feedback. Maybe you'll get another one in the future and then think about the video :)

Thank you thank you for posting this. Brilliant work. My 201 Sportline has this issue. I will definitely be using this video as my guide when I'm ready to to take this on myself. Cheers

[@MrRedcelica]

thats a satisfying result!!

[@toshi-san4895]

I impressed this video very much. Thank you. I had tried to use double-sided adhesive tape to my W201024.

[@KUNIQUE]

Thank you very much, Toshikazu! How was your experience with double sided tape?

[@toshi-san4895]

@@KUNIQUE Well, I think it works better. I wonder if something happened, it might be possible to do it again. Especially the part closer to the window edge(from your video, I also found some part of bubbles stood out of your chemical leather), I used 1cm narrow and thin double sided tape to the edge of leather ends. I recommend to tear off the leather and use cyanoacrylate glue to make stuff brown cardboard(?) base. For my case adhesive tape does not peeled apart. Usually, brown cardboard base surface might be decomposed. I have no idea to drill my door panel :-)

[@gianfrancoa]

Great video. I have never attempeted to fix the rearb door cards on my 190 as that area on top of the handle bar is really hard to glue it back as you showed on your video. The issue is that the vinyl shanks and and it's almost impossible to make it look factory again

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks for the nice feedback. Unfortunately, it’s really hard to stretch the vinyl at this point.

[@Lot76CARS]

ingenious, great work, really look forward to these videos!

[@jessemeijering1537]

Super video, very useful and also satisfying to watch! What is the white cover you use just before reinstalling the panels onto the door frame?

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks Jesse! It’s the factory rain cover.

[@johncross8834]

The actual hard board on my door cards were lifting away from the rubber strip next to window I removed card and used a hand held steam gun ( the ones used for clean tiles etc)I heat up the top of card and carefully pushed it back to original position placed narrow strip of wood with G clamps laid it on a table with the G glamps hanging over the edge with some weights attached left over night and card was fitted to car much improved I them pushed some windscreen rubber locking strip between existing rubber and top of door To keep its shape Iam very pleased with result and Iam a fussy bugger

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks for sharing your method and experience! Nice to see that I’m not the only one who has this problem and that there are also many other different ways to fix.

Amazing i am so glad i have found your YT chanel. i have some similar issues on my door panel. i will follow the same steps. i will try to keep it uptaded, to let you know :) thank you

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks for your kind feedback Maxime!

[@oscardziedziela9715]

Hey, been following along with this build as I have an 89 2.0 I'm working on fixing, but the door panels are in way rougher condition, the wood itself has lost its shape. Any tips on reshaping the wood? Many thanks

[@KUNIQUE]

Hi Oscar, maybe you can reshape them by using epoxy resin and fiberglass at the back of the panel. But this could lead to that the panels get to hard to put back in place. If you find the right way, I would appreciate if you could share your experience here.

[@youssefbou7375]

Nice video 👍 good job bro

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks bro!

[@buza972]

Great video man! I saw you're so experienced with fixing this car, i myself got one weeks ago, i'm 25 and i don't really know much about them. My panels are exactly the same, but i would've liked to put some speakers inside the car, since it has none, and not even the radio. I've seen there's spaces to put speakers in under the windshield on the front panel, but i would've liked to put some tweeters there, maybe two mids in the front doors and rear doors and a hidden sub where the first aid kit is. Is there any way to modify the panels so that they'll accomodate those speakers you think? Or generally, would you have any other recommendations?

[@KZR_ken]

Great job bro 👍👌🏻

[@KUNIQUE]

Thanks bro. Much appreciated!

[@Borgschulze]

Hi, would you suggest removing the entire material from the hard board? Or will it become too lumpy after gluing that way? I want to change the insert to plaid for a custom build, but I'm not exactly an arts and crafts expert.

[@KUNIQUE]

Hi Dan, I will share an update on this in the coming weeks. Cheers!

Hallo, super Video. Ich habe ein 190 sportline das fast 9 Jahre draußen gestanden hat. Die Türverkleidungen haben unter Kälte und Sonne jetzt gelitten und sind an manche Stellen ab. Lässt das sich reparieren? Wenn ja bitte wo? Danke

Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Leider weiß ich nicht, wo man das machen lassen kann. Sicherlich kann hier ein Sattler weiterhelfen. Ich habe es jedoch selbst mit Textilkleber versucht.

Wenn ich richtig informiert bin, soll man diese Plastikfolie gar nicht rund herum zu kleben, sondern lieber an den unteren Teilen der Löcher immer ins Türinnere (Hohlraum) laufen lassen, da mit die Flüssigkeit auf keinen fall an die Türpappen kommt.

[@KUNIQUE]

Danke für den Hinweis! Klingt auf jeden Fall logisch. Ich habe es einfach wieder so geklebt, wie es ursprünglich war ohne mir großartig Gedanken darüber zu machen. Ich beobachte das mal wenn ich die Pappen wieder ab haben sollte.

How did you fixed this issue -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqGpoqZmntiXa6M It looks pretty scary and unfixsable to me, since it looks like the leather gor shrunk and that it cannot be glued back to the door panel. I have the same issue with my w201
