Every since I started installing a Birch Screen door this year, I've been pondering what to do with the inside of the actual coach door. While I was able to put back on the decorative cover for around the window, I completely redid the "door handle" area. Took off the leather strip, installed a fold flat trunk pull as close to the latch as possible (easy to close with the leverage), filled and painted the whole panel for dents and old screw/rivet holes. Pretty pleased with the look so far.
Now I'm looking for lower door panel ideas. Originally I had installed a thin sheet of plywood with carpeting that matched the floor. It worked ok, looked ok, but it was fairly thick. I'd be hard pressed to get it behind the birch door and get it all closed. I also was not enamoured with the look. I'd like to go with something like a flexible, paintable plastic or metal panel that will sit fairly flush inside the frame.
What have people used that looked good and worked for that lower panel?
Thanks,
