    I thought instead of buying a set from anyone ($29.95 and up), I would just use a some freezer wrap. It has a wax coating on one side and A "plan" paper side. I then took a very sticky tape I have and taped it to the door frame and cut out the window and inner door handles with a razer blade.

    Mike,

    Found your tip to be very useful as I plan to be there some day soon myself. However, since I haven't yet, which side does the waxed side face - into the door or out? Thanks for the additional tip.

    Most tape will not stick very well to the wax side. You want to put this side towards the door.

    The main purpose of the paper is to keep any water that might get through the rubber/felt at the windows off the back side of the interior panels.

    $29.95???? Who is selling them for that price?

    www.nationalpartsdepot.com sells them for Chevelles for $9-10 for all 4 pieces.

    I recommend finding some drafting mylar and cutting your own. This stuff is lightweight, waterproof, and immortal.

    Well, I thought I saw them for $29.95. Looks like OPG has them for $11.00.

    Anyway the $2.50 I paid for a whole roll ( and will have some left) would be cheaper
