All 4 door cards on my '95[built '94] 960 are badly wrinkled I have thought of covering the tops with wood veneer if I can figure out which I'd need to match the "wood" on the dashboard.

Has anyone tried/succeeded in repairing wrinkly card tops? My '95 is a rolling restoration project and, although the interior is generally very good for a 280k mile car, I'd really like to fix the crocked door cards at some point.
There was a Dutch ( i think ) company that produced something to place over the wrinkles. Can't remember the bl**dy name now. Trying to repair is nigh on impossible, although some people have had succress at good trimming companies. Given what they would charge it's cheaper to source a seconhand non wrinkled set.
