Door panels swap??? Interior colors???

I'm still kinda new with the Buicks, but do the Roadmaster sedan door panels interchange with the wagon door panels? I found some pretty nice panels locally in a sedan, and i noticed they have door speakers which I don't think mine do?

And also were there two different color tan interiors from 94-96?? For some reason i think the tan looks lighter than mine? I know hard for you guys with no pics, just thought someone mught know off hand.

Also does the stainless belt trim interchange from sedan to wagon on the doors?

~Thanks

As for the door panel, yes, they fit...... providing you stay with LT1/LT1 and TBI/TBI.

As for the trim, I THINK they are different. Wagon is held in with pins/clips and the sedan with tape.

The 94-96 Roadmaster sedans and wagons have the same front door panels. Rears are different. 91-93 all front panels are the same except for the Roadmaster bezels, but the Caprice sedan, Roadmaster sedan, and wagon rears are different from each other with the same bezels as the fronts. The Caprice, and OCC front panels are all the same for every year, and model, and rears are different from sedans to wagons. The other difference is color from 91-93 and 94-96.

Some bezels are different. The woodgrain look can be different, as well as the texture. Some low option cars have just the insert for the door handle vs. the long bezel with the grab handle. These panels can be modified to fit the long bezel.

You must be from the low option side of town. Deal with it. I won't hold it against you.

heh heh... I thought I got a 'well optioned' 1A2 because it had power windows.

It is all a matter of perspective.

Does that make you a Simpleton?

Why... yes, flasherrhoid... it does!

I want door pulls. lol Mom's OCC has them, my car doesn't.

Makes me sad.

They're pretty useless, other than looks. The armrest grip is closer.

Same as you are,right jimblow?

I mean, come ON. What kind of pansy reaches out to 'clutch' the decorative 'strap',
rather than just grabbin' the tried & true armrest handle to get the job done?

I'm partial to that "decorative strap"

I have no front arm rests. They are both destroyed, and my driver's door panel is cracked where it belongs.

I want the straps.


Seriously though, they're nice.

Here I am, surrounded by gay people.
smh...

And you feel right at home,finally!

I like the recessed handle style better than the strap.

Sorry here's a better picture of the recessed pull handle:


One word of advice, if you are going to remove the door panel, the recessed handle trim piece does not have to be seperated from the panel for removal. The previous owner tried to removed the front door panels thinking he had to seperate the handle trim piece from the door panel first, which resulted in it getting broken.

Not a hard thing to break considering they are only attached with small plastic rivets/tabs. The only thing you have to remove from the recessed handle trim piece are the two screws for the pull handle. It does not have to be seperated from the door panel to remove the door panel.

Oh well at least the pull handle screws keep the trim piece seated in the panel well enough that I don't have to fiqure out a way to reattach those plastic rivets/tabs.

Hmmmm, so it doesn't anchor to the door frame at all, other than the usual suspects?
Seems like a good yank would pull out one of the christmas trees.

No I'm meaning that the complete door panel is still anchored to the door via all the other screws and plastic upholstery christmas tree pins. However the rectangular trim piece which houses the recessed pull handle, door lock, door handle, and power mirror knob, is only anchored to the door panel via the two screws for the pull handle now.
