New Door Panels

[Shaggyracer]

Hello! I’m replacing the upper door panels in my ‘74 Charger. But the replacement panels don’t have pull straps like the originals. Any ideas on how to incorporate pull straps?

Hate to see you cut new door panels but could you use the old ones as templates and for the new ones and transfer over with that old setup?

I was hoping to do that, but I can’t find the straps themselves. I only have one of the originals.

I’d post a “wanted to buy” in the parts interior section

Hey Shaggyracer I might be able to help you out. Can you post a picture of what you have. If the same as the 73 there are two chrome metal clips that cover the screws that hold the strap in place. For a number of reasons these bits always seem to go missing. I always keep my eyes open for them at Mopar Flea Markets and when ever I see a third gen Charger rotting away in someone's yard.
