Rear door - prisoner panel

Post by Arred79 »

Hello all,

I am looking at possibly purchasing a 2014 PPV in my area, I have been doing some research on these, so I know a few things to look for, but one thing I noticed on this one was the rear door panels are absent/deleted, with these prisoner panels covering the door interior. Has anybody dealt with this before on a purchase? I mean I’m hoping that the wires are still intact inside the door panel and it’s just a matter of obtaining the functional door panels with power windows switches and handles and connecting everything ? I just don’t want a disaster on my hands lol, any info would be appreciated before I commit myself to anything . Thanks!

Only way to know is look behind. It sure seems most of the time everything is left tucked or zip tied in the door. For instance, mine had plates riveted over where the door handles were. Once I took them off all I was missing was the plastic handle. The electric window switch was even sill wired up and inside the panel. I also had no rear seatbelts, just a seat. Then I looked behind and the seatbelts were rolled up and shoved in holes. So I had them, but set aside. There are entire door panels available.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for interior door panels for 2014 -2017, haven’t really seen many online, where is the best place for parts like that, like where to find them? I know generally speaking parts are hard to fine for these cars.
