I don't want to derail this thread, but you can take a gander at the OpenInverter forum: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4695
But I would like to keep this thread about the kickpanel repair

I don't have Facebook, but apparently he is registered in the forum as well, so he could contact me here. Or on Printables.

I for one am joining that forum to follow that project.

I figured he's probably on here. I'm sure he'll reach out.

Thank you for making this available for commercial use! We're testing this part out today--here's how it looks after our acetone polishing process:

bmdubya the product fits well! Seeing I used plastic putty to rebuild the mounting point in my S70 I don't need this, but this seems like a great solution for others. Again we appreciate being able to use this commercially. We would like your consent to utilize your nice photographs in our listing? We will provide attribution to your Printables page in the listing as well. Let us know your thoughts. Happy to take this to email too-- [email protected]

Glad it fits nicely! Crasbe is the one who developed this, so he's the one you'll want to talk to regarding this stuff.

Still getting used to this forum format... that question's for you then, Crasbe

Sure, you can use the photos. Just add a notice that the model is originally from me and available on Printables under the CC-BY-SA license. Perhaps you can add a notice that people should give a Like on Printables

However, I would recommend you to wait a little for more reviews before you add it to your inventory. As I said, this is currently only tested for my vehicle, I don't know how the fitment is for other vehicles. Usually it should be pretty much the same, but who knows.

Understood & thank you. Yes we are going to sit on this for a little as we moving homes tomorrow anyway, so much to do. Will update here once they are available.

I would also encourage anyone who wants more frequent updates to follow us on Facebook @ VPrints.
I'll also provide our Etsy shop link: https://vprintsus.etsy.com

I was thinking of trying to use fiberglass or epoxy to repair it, I just haven't had time to really get under there and look.

Since I have the same problem, that will be the next project. I will have to check the other problem areas mentioned in this thread, but I can't promise that I'll have solutions for that on short notice. The actual project I'm doing with the car is not about repairing the interior panels. That's just procrastination from the main task

I feel you. I know for me everything I do on the car is just procrastination of something else I should be doing
