I purchased them from Al Knoch direct. With fibre board backing there 300 bucks more for the pair. I am just hoping I don’t have the same fitting issues as I had with the plastic backed panels.

Thanks Jethro, the weather here is starting to go bad now so gives me a chance to do some more work on it!!!
I got my new door panels from Al Knoch. So far the fit is very similar to the OEM panels. These panels have been made up with fibre board backing instead of the usual plastic that after market panels use. The problem I had with my previous Corvette America panels was I couldn't get them to sit flat on the doors, the bottoms would sit out from the door an inch or more. The side clips and Velcro pads where not strong enough to hold them in.
Another problem I had with my previous original panels was I couldn't get the interior door locks to sit in the centre of the lock plate opening with the panels fully clipped onto the door. This meant the panels weren't pushed down fully over the top of the inner door frame.
To fix this I slotted the mounting holes in the opening mechanism and moved it slightly. The panels now fit where they should be.
I am still waiting on some bits to come in so will finish fitting them then.

They seem to sit nice and snug on the bottom of the door Brad.
