    1968 door pocket elastic repair

    Can anyone show me what the elastic is supposed to look like? My pockets are droopy and I wanted to sew in some new elastic. Thanks.

    Not sure if this will help. Mine is intact, but shot.

    I'm just going to sew something in. No way I can replicate that on my own, jt912. Thanks for the pic!

    I consider the door pockets to be ornamental and not functional. I safety pinned new black elastic in place. The safety pins were hid on the inside of the elastic fold next to the pocked fold. You can't even see it when the pockets are opened, which is never. It is like looking to see if the refrigerator light stays on with the door closed.
