they were saying :

Anybody done this - or is it a waste of time ??

I've got similar on one of the door trims of a Cit Dyane van. I'm not
convinced it'll be worth the effort to try to rescue them - and that's
without new 'uns being available off the shelf, unlike for a Moggy
Thou.

Fair comment.
Amazing how 'available' the bits for the old Morris are....
considering...

....considering they're all being remanufactured in Sri Lanka, y'mean?
grin

My plan - since the vinyl doesn't have any hotwelded "styling" on it,
just a hole for window winder and a couple for armrest - is just to
remake the damn thing in something less pikey than cardboard...

Interesting you should say that.
The rear trim panels (by the rear seats and back to the rear doors)
have also suffered from water getting in through the sliding
windows.... - I was toying with the idea of making up some new ones
from plywood - as I can still use the old ones as patterns.

If the ply was half-decent to start with, and the cut edges nicely
sanded, and a couple of good coats of varnish applied then I'd think
it might look quite presentable. The car's going to be in daily use,
ferrying us and two dogs about the parish, as well as taking all my
stock to a couple of outdoor markets each week - so the varnished ply
might well be a more durable finish than the vinyl....

Indeed.

With the money I've saved I might even get some new shiny self-tapping
screws to fix the panels in place g - or do you think that smacks of
extravagance ?

Absolute profligacy! You should be ashamed.
