The velour-cloth inserts are backed with foam. It remains squishy and soft to this day.

On the 3 Hondas in our driveway, the cloth inserts are glued directly to the door panels. There is no foam. No doubt it never, ever fails the way Honda does it.

I'm pretty confident a good upholstery shop could pick a good color match and material that won't shrink.

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." - Douglas Noel Adams (1952 - 2001)
