Interior Front Door Panels

[zanenc]

I am in need of replacement interior door panels for a sand color 2000 Camry. The interior color is called Oak. I have looked on line and have only found the $600+ versions. Any ideas where I can get both front panels a a lower cost? The damage is around the power window switches. Thanks.

car-part.com is also a good resource.

Is your problem the same as decribed in this thread:

Any easy solutions to fix this?

If so, you may be able to repair them.

Actually my problem is around where the switch panel snaps into the door panel. There is a ugly gap when the switches are in place. I actually have the same problem on the front passenger door also. I have tried gluing it with automotive goop but not two part epoxy. I will try that before I buy door panels. The gap has been present since I bought the car several years ago. Other than this the door panels are in great shape. Thanks for the help.

^ Read my posts in the thread Rattlin_Steele referenced. This is what was done to fix that exact problem in my 98 about 6 or 7 years ago.

If there's a gap, there could be a part missing or broken. Pics?

Believe it or not I had the same problems on the front door of my 1998 Camry, and I added regular caulking all around and let it dry till next day or two. After that I bought in the autoparts store the little paint bottle of the same car color. Then I painted the whole thing with care like 3 coats, and actually after two yrs it looks pretty good.
I thought about adding one of those Dash kits which includes covering around the switch as well, but I was not sure for long lasting good looking; so now I am glad I did not buy the kit.
