Interior Bolster - Paul McKay - 31 Jan 2008
My Nov 81 D has the seperate bolster section. Bit of a gap where it is coming away. Anyone have any tips on fixing this piece? The original owner tried to fix it with a screw!!!!
'The side bolstering in the De Lorean was originally separate from the main interior pieces. There is a tendency to place pressure on this piece when entering and exiting the car. This will eventually cause the bolstering to become separated from the trim panel. To help fix this problem, cars built in and after late 1981 have one solid trim piece with the bolster permanently attached'.

You can only fix it by finding a replacement bolster and/or taking the whole panel off and being creative...
