Ive used mdf for years in car audio installs but have recently changed to abs as temperature changes cause moisture no matter how well sealed, and we are talking 30+ years I know but most of the door cards are deteriorated by now so I'd be using a completely weather rated material. You are both right mdf would probably be fine if installed and sealed correctly.

The factory visqueen protects the door cards from moisture. The original door panels are made out of MDF-like fibreboard, the doors have polyethylene sheet applied with sealer before the door cards are fitted

The black bead of rubber sealant is similar to RTV

Nah ive never had trouble with mdf door trims you can seal them up before you cover them.

Yeah I was planning on doing the same thing with the door cards if you had good vinyl for sale. I've seen those mdf ones fall apart after a couple months, it is not even close to the right material for a vehicle especially a door as no matter how good your rubbers are moisture still gets in. Take your original panel if it has a good enough shape to a plastics place and get them to machine a new one from abs, it takes to the adhesives for your vinyl better too. Shouldn't cost much.

Think i have a handbrake cover and under dash shelf. Door cards I dont really have good all round condition door cards have quite a few with good vinyl but the Masonite has swelled cracked. Theirs a seller on ebay selling mdf door cards for 1200 they are what ill be getting and just reusing my vinyl. You can buy vinyl off the roll from most trimmers.

Got any interior parts like handbrake cover, under dash parcel shelf, coin holders for the door sills, or ute door cards etc?
