I mistakenly ordered some unassembled door panmels for my camino a few years ago. I meant to send them back for complete ones but never took the time. Well i finally pulled them out and was wondering what i need to get them on the car. Here is a pic to show you what i got. I still have my old armrests, so I dont need that but what else do i need.

Is it worth putting these together or is it cheaper to send them back and pay the difference for complete set. If they will even take them back lol!

IMO...that would be the way I'd go. Much easier to install the pre-assembled panels.

this raises my curiosity as well....my car came with new unassembled OPG panels, and they are still in the box. What exactly is needed/involved in full assembly of these?
TIA

Here is a link to step by step instructions for completing your unassembled door panels. The link is for a Buick GS door panel but the GS door panels are the exact same thing as Chevelle door panels except for type and quality of materials used.
