Do you mean MDF?fiber board
I've wondered how MDF might work for this purpose but have never tried it. If that's what you used, what is the thickness of the board itself?

OK, not MDF. I think this is often referred to as "hardboard". On one vehicle I had difficulty using it for the door cards due to two things; I needed to staple the covers onto it and the hardboard was difficult to get staples into it (at least with my stapliers), and on that particular application the door cards had a slight curve to them....not totally flat....and the hardboard did not offer much 'give'. But I suppose on the X with them being flat, and if you are only using glue (not staples) it would be easier.This stu

Yes, sorry. Hardboard. Thanks autox19OK, not MDF. I think this is often referred to as "hardboard".

Also hardboard is rather durable and somewhat moisture resistant, so they should last pretty well.
Earlier you mentioned the possibility of using hardboard and I thought it might not be the best option based on my prior experience. However as I've since said that may depend on the specific application. And it worked for AutoX19 on his X. So it may be a good option after all.Yes, sorry. Hardboard. Thanks autox19
