#17 of 21 Re: Leather peeling off of the door by NC_Dave Nov 29, 2008 (3:38 pm)
Replying to: cubeslave (Jun 28, 2008 9:33 pm) I had this problem with my 2002 Taurus. One side starting coming loose last year. Both sides started coming off this summer when the heat was at its worst. I found a Interiors and Convertible Top shop in Raleigh, NC that fixed both doors for $60. They removed the panels, removed all of the cheap foam behind the panels (this is what falls apart and cause the problem), and they used an adhesive to re attach the panels. They look just fine now. It seems the trick is to get all of the old foam off of the panel before you try any type of adhesive. Replies to this message: berry22192 (Jan 15, 2009 9:55 am)

Replying to: NC_Dave (Nov 29, 2008 3:38 pm) I'm envious of the $60 price you paid. I've just had two rear door panels repaired (the vinyl was coming away, as you said, because of the foam backing was deteriorating). My bill: $140 (northern virginia).

I have an 01 Sable, same issue. After looking at the panels missing the covers for 2 years, I went to Lowes and got a small sample of custom paint by bringing in the vinyl. I sanded most of the hard glue off with a detail sander and painted it. It is not like having the cover on it, but looks hellava lot better. I had inquired about it at the dealer, but they just blew me off and told me I had to order 2 entire new door panels as the don't sell covers. Total cost was 30.00 for sander and 4.00 for paint.

I have a 2001 Taurus SES with the same problem. I went to a ford dealer and was told that the panels could not be repaired. Just the panels alone would cost approximately $336.00 for the LR and approximately $395.00 for the RR panel. Count me in for the class action law suit.
#21 of 21 sunroof switch by donjohnohue Nov 18, 2009 (2:25 pm)
I just bought a 2000 Sable LS Premium. The Sunroof switch intermittantly works.Sometimes it won't open and sometimes it won't close. If I fiddle with it, eventually it closes. I tried to order a switch from Direct Ford On Line but they sent me a combo dome light switch. So my thinking now is that the sunroof was an aftermarket addition. Any ideas where I can get a replacement switch? It is a stand alone toggle switch in front of the opening.
