Overview
Sagging door panels and missing tabs are a common issue on aging E36s — especially after interior reupholstery or speaker work. This repair kit is a permanent fix that restores your door cards back to a factory-tight fit using clearly labeled, shape-specific tabs for each model and door type.
Built from carbon fiber-infused polycarbonate, these replacements are strong, heat-resistant, and designed to last decades longer than the brittle factory pieces. Whether you're restoring a Coupe, Sedan, Touring, or Convertible, this kit covers everything you need.

You need to change the instructions. DO NOT USE HOT GLUE! My door panels didn't even last 5 days when I used hot glue. The product itself is okay but I wasted 5 hrs doing the job and broke the repair kit when trying to remove it from the door once it separated from the door panel.
I followed your instructions and spent 5 hours redoing both door panels. It's only been 3 days and the hot glue you suggested to use has already failed. Hot glue is not an adequate glue for the application. Now I get to spend $1000 on 2 new door panels from FCP Euro to replace these that I just ruined by foliwong your instructions. Heres a link to the door panels that i will have to by due to your instructions. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-door-trim-panel-front-left-0515-521-620-bg-51418178023?ads_cmpid=21608570790&ads_adid=172030790608&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=710410055268&utm_term=&ads_targetid=aud-2343638065892:pla-297546631617&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw-qi_BhBxEiwAkxvbkHnnZHA4K4BzwM-39Jn30Agi2dq9y0LAITxIWGnq2uhYgkFYFh-FTxoC198QAvD_BwE
What!? Did you read the description at all?
