Those of you with manual windows...

I took at look at the interior of my car today and everything was good except the door panels. My car, an '82, has manual windows and is a base model, so the door panels are covered in "embroidered" vinyl. There are spots where it's ripped or pulled free of the cardboard backing. I remember my old GSL had mostly vinyl/leather with a cloth insert, but had power windows. I'm just wondering if any of you guys with manual windows have the vinyl with cloth insert door panels? If you do and you happen to have a black and grey set lying around in good shape, would you be willing to part with 'em? Thanks,

--Danny

I do believe my '80 had all vinyl.

It was my first and only car with manual windows. Kinda funny, really, because I'd get a car and all the power windows would work, and over the course of ownership all the windows would fail except (very conveniently) for the driver's window. Both windows on the GSL still work (touch wood).

My '85 base model is cloth/vinyl. I think they stopped using all vinyl in '84.
