I've done some more digging on the "Ole interwebs" after asking this questi=
on of the group. I did learn that not all doors have the vertical/ central=
wide metal brace running from the bottom of the door to the wood horizonta=
l brace (screw attachment point for the upper panel). I'd speculate that it=
was added on later in the run as a needed exterior door skin support. I'm =
sure someone on here knows when and why. I did find some pictures showing t=
he vinyl glued over that brace and it is visible through the vinyl covering=
.
As far as the wood horizontal brace it appears most glue it creating a 90 d=
egree lip below the upper stiff backed panel. It just didn't seem correct t=
o me, but after viewing numerous completed cars, it doesn't look bad.
I'm not doing a concours car, but some areas I just get all wrapped up in m=
aking it as factory correct as possible.

Subject: 100 door vinyl original glue technique
How did the factory go about gluing the bottom inner vinyl material to the =
inner door? So if you glue it tight there is a brace running up the middle =
that will show through, and also there would be a 90 degree ledge where it =
meets the horizontal wood middle support (below the upper vinyl covered pan=
el). I'm fairly certain there was no backing material on this piece of viny=
l from the factory. My thought is to glue to the metal brace and glue a di=
stance away to create a nice transition. And the same method from the horiz=
ontal mid wood support which would leave some unglued void areas between th=
e vinyl and the inner door.
I do realize that adding some backing takes care of the issues, but am int=
erested in how it was done originally. I don't recall mine having any back=
ing, and my original vinyl is too stiff and pulled away to tell how it was =
done. Once I flattened out my originals, they did make fantastic templates=
to cut the new vinyl from.
TIA, Shawn
