I have used this forum for quite a while for research purposes, but have never really posted. I have done small bumper repairs but, nothing like this. I already looked at Urethane Supply and would like to avoid using a plastic welder. The picture is of an Escalade door panel trim. Any ideas or advice?

I am prepping it for sale and would like to avoid spending 90-150 on a used panel.

I haven't yet. I plan on removing the panel tonight. I tried looking it up online and couldn't find anything. I'll post back as soon as I figure it out.

Fixing that can be done. But how valuable is your time. It'll take a few days to get that repaired correctly. You could buy one and have it painted in a day. Might get lucky and find one in the correct color. Could also be available color coded new from GM.
If it ain't BROKE fix it till it is!!

A lot of time. I've been searching for the panel for about a month now, no luck.
