Memo 040881 Product Evaluation Summary - CRBrown

[Shep]

Shep, the door cards are the two large pieces of interior door trim that are held on by "fir trees"

So called, I think, because the first ones used were actually made from pressed card.

The gap between the door panel and the rear trim panel - normally in this gap you could see the bare stainless of the inner door. This "door finisher" show in the photo below helps to obscure that area.

Thanks guys! Learned a new term today.

I believe the term "door card" is used more frequently in England. I've watched lots of episodes of Wheeler Dealers and Mike and Ed always refer to door trim panels as "door cards." As in "the door cards were perished".
