Leather GTA Door Panels
Can someone confirm if GTA's with leather seats had leather or cloth door panel inserts? I have not seen a leather interior GTA in person and it's hard to tell from photos. Looks like they are all cloth, but please confirm if you have one. My interior is all cloth, so I have no reference. Thanks

Re: Leather GTA Door Panels
What style of door panel? the flat ones or the molded panels?? My car has leather seats, flat door panels with leather inserts, shifter, Ebrake handle and the steering wheel. I'll have to take a picture of it for you.

Re: Leather GTA Door Panels
The leather seats that GM made are not 100% leather.
It is leather seating area only.
The sides and the back are vinyl.
The flat door panels can have the insert material from the seat in the door panel.
The molded ones can not. GM had no way to bond seal the leather to the vinyl like the cloth to vinyl.

Re: Leather GTA Door Panels
Then it either wasn't really a GTA that you got them out of (junkyard?) or a previous owner changed it out because the Deluxe Interior was a standard, not optional like other items, part of the GTA package.

Re: Leather GTA Door Panels
It was 15 yrs plus yrs ago when it was parted. I found the build sheet and the rop code sticker also.
