CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is delivered by the post office and Canadian deliveries will be affected by the strike.

International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

Description

Don't throw away those panels just because the backing boards are broken and warped! You cannot buy reproduction panels for the 67-70 Mercury Cougar, but you can get this pair of backer boards. If your vinyl is good, then you will want to put the work into them. These are not a quick fix, they do take time to install but the end result is worth it. These will work on your 67-68 XR7, Decor or Standard model as they are cut for all models and all options (i.e. manual remote mirror, courtesy lights).

Now precisely CNC machined with the proper perforated "punch outs" like the factory panels. Made from a much more durable hard board, these should last a lifetime without warping.

*Keep in mind that we no longer have anyone working on our door panels at this time (as previously stated in this video).

Checkout our how-to video, it will walk you through the process and make it much easier:

These backer boards fit just about perfect. I could not ask for a better fit! One thing I noticed was the courtesy light bolt holes are slightly under sized but would rather have that then over sized. I only had to cut out the remote mirror location on my decor panels and all other locations where already cut out. Everything lined up great even considering my panels have shrunk a bit over the course of 50yrs of sun exposure. Watch the video as it will give you an idea whats in involved with tools, glue and tricks to get a good result. What I did not see used on the video but was very helpful for me was a heat gun used to make the vinyl a little more pliable and easier to work.
Im glad these are available and able to be used to restore the original panels! Another good use for them would be to build custom panels if so desired.

With a good set of vinyl you can transform your door panels to something worth being proud of. Yes, it takes a bit of work but is a darn sight better that staring at panels that are warped, broken and don't fit correctly. The only caveat I will mention about this project is to double check the fitment of the courtesy light studs. After recovering the first panel I realized that the pre-punched holes for the studs that hold the courtesy light were undersized. So much so, that trying to push the studs through cracked the panel slightly. No big deal but on the next panel I will pre-fit the courtesy light and open up the holes as needed to ensure a great fit.
