        I really should get this for my dash and door panels in my Lincoln.

        Winter vehicle-> 1995 Ford F-250 XLT SuperCab 4x4, 284,xxx+km. AKA "Brutus" 460/E4OD/4.10 axles and 12 MPG. Bought 2019/08/14

          Do they make door panels for our cars? I've only seen the dash caps. *goes and looks*

          Nope. Just dash caps.

            "Someone", I don't know who, makes or made repair panels for the box Lincolns. My Town Car has one installed. It's an extra layer of door-panel-like material that attaches over the existing armrest part of the door panel.

            I'm impressed with how the Coverlay dash cover is working for you. Our dash pads are getting harder to find in decent shape.

            Edit: looks like it may be Dashtop...

              Nice. I'm sure some folks will like to have that info.

                Yup think that's the company in question.

                Also have a couple of these coverlays in the garage from junkyard visits.

                Also have a mint late 80sTC dash pad in dark blue with a small crack over one dash speaker. Was too nice to leave. Rest of dash mint. Someone here want it?

                Btw that cover lay install looks really good. Excellent job!

                  I do like it. If I blacked out the edge of the original, It would blend in much better.

                    yeah... the sensor hole is a lot further right on that one than on mine. Go figure.

                      I have one of these door panel caps on one of the lincolns. I had to trim it so it would fit and look better. It has held up pretty good. If I had not trimmed it, it would have been quite evident that a cap was put on.

                          I agree, that came out great! Thanks for bumping it or else I would have missed it.
                          I have been skeptical of the overlays but after seeing this I am definitely interested

                            my dash was so screwed. I had to trim off all the curled up bits to get it to lay flat. Can't tell to the longevity since I sold the car though. I imagine it's fine though. It's pretty stout.
