Please watch the short video below showing how to remove the door panels.

I cant stress this enough: THE SIZE OF THE BOX MATTERS!

Larger than recommended will pay more in shipping and will not protect the panels very well.  Most of the damage we see in shipping is due to too large a box where the panels are loose inside.  Make sure the panels are snug in the box and usepadding material so they don't move inside the box.

When you are ready to ship the panels:

You will need a cardboard box NO LARGER than 48" x 8" x 24", small-bubble bubble wrap material and packing tape.  The smaller the box, the better.  Better for the panel and better for your pocket (less shipping).  You can use a box as small as 42" x 7" x 22" for two door panels properly packed. UPS Charges by weight and by volume so try to keep it as small and light as possible.

This size box may be difficult to find, but you can find one or build your own.

If you have a bicycle shop nearby, pay them a visit to see if they have any empty bike boxes.  Some bike boxes are very close to the recommended size and they are free!

If you can't find a suitable one, then build your own.

Obtain a Large or Grand WARDROBE box from a moving supply store such as U-Store, U-Haul, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.  

Wardrobe boxes will generally measure 48" x 22' x 22",  44" x 24" x 24" or similar.  Right there you have two of the three dimensions.  So just fold down one of the 24" or 22" sides to 8", cut off the excess cardboard and tape together.

The best discount is applied to a box that's 44" x 8" x 22".

The  minimum size (for two sportscar panels) is 42" x 7" x 22".

The packed box with both panels should weigh approximately 27 - 29 lbs.

Keeping the box size to the recommended size and weight will save you a lot in shipping!

If you have Cayenne door panels to ship, keep in mind that those panels are larger and heavier than the sportscar panels and require a larger box.

When we receive the panels we carefully inspect them for any damage. 

Any damage is photographed for records.

The repair procedure includes:

• General cleaning of panel to  better assess damage.

• Removal of adhesive remnants from prior botched repair (if present)

• Mechanical repairs to any broken plastic (if required)

• Preparation of delaminated surfaces using specialized cleaners, primers and


   adhesion promoters

• Application of specialized adhesives

• Allow curing time

• Inspection including placing panel in a jig to check for warping.  


•  If warped, panel is then re-formed back to OEM shape to assure a perfect fit

    when installed

•  Final inspection and thorough cleaning

• Panels are packed and shipped back according to your instructions.

Keep all of the removed trim pieces with you in a safe place, including the small triangular piece that sits on the top front of the panel.

Secure the loose blue connector with tape so that it doesn't get damaged in transit.

Wrap each panel in one (1) layer of bubble-wrap only.  Place the panels leather-side to leather-side and one of the panels turned 180º so that the door handles are out of each other's way.

Tape the panels together so that they form one unit.  Place in the box and fill any voids with bubble wrap. - PLEASE DON'T USE PACKING PEANUTS - They make a big mess and get into the panel's innards.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the panels are snug and can't slide freely inside the box. If they are loose, insert crumpled packing paper or bubble wrap to compensate.

A good option for a Cayenne door panels is the U-HAUL TV Paking Kit or similar.  This box is adjustable, and has the right size for the larger panels of the SUVs.

Please wrap the panel in bubble wrap, place in the inner box, making sure to fill any empty voids with bubble wrap por packing paper so that the panel cannot move freely inside the box.
