    Two questions: Are those new door skins?
    Did all the Mavericks down there come
    with the parking brake between the
    seats?

    1- Yes, here exists a company that sell new door skins... The company is called Estribex...

    2- No, only my maverick has... It was a modification made using a piece of another car (GM - CHEVETTE)...

    - A few weeks ago I changed the door skin of the driver's side ... I know that seems a bit strange I done this service, because it's appear to be quite complex, but I dared and told the luck ahuahuhuahuahu ... At first I thought it was very difficult, but then saw that it was easy... First, as is obvious, you must remove the old door skin :rofl2:... To do this, simply move the grinder on the sides of the plate that is cut and then you can cut it ...
