Pretty simple question: The top part of my door (right above the door card) is clothed, how rare is that? I haven't seen another Festiva with it in the Junkyard.

Either use thick vinyl or create a laminate with additional padding glued under the vinyl you use.
I've never taken any off a car because I was afraid of tearing it.
My GL has it but none of my other cars (all Ls) does.
Also, in case anyone didn't know, the lock knob surrounds are slightly different between the padded and plain steel tops to account for the additional thickness of the vinyl. So pull the knob surrounds too and/or get the type you will need based upon that.
What I'd like to see (and may do!) is to use actual CLOTH on my door tops. That would be kinda nice. They would also tend to absorb water if it rains with the window cracked open!
