give it a tug and lift out. probably one of the easiest pieces to remove in the car.




and thank you everyone for all the nice comments! :D

 

i see you have the side curtain airbags..
howd you get the pillar and headliner off?
looking good man =)

 

The A and C pillars were the hardest part. The supposedly "one-time" use plugs were a pain to pop off. You just need to go at it with ease and a lot of leverage. The headliner was a breeze.... its mainly held up with super industrial velcro-type stuff.

 

^oh ok gotcha where you start from?im assuming the top..
cuz i tried tugging it a lil and that thing feels like it doesnt wanna go heh

 

thats the point haha. they're not intended to be removed. what we used is a 10mm open end wrench, placed it between the plastic bushing and the metal rod and used a long metal tube for extra leverage and yanked on it until it popped out. you have to give it a couple of tries until it budges, but it does come out.

 

Very nice. planing on doing the same.

 

Very nice! How much does it cost you to do this? If you don't mind me askin...

 

hey if you dont mind could you post up what materials you used(besides the suede of course) like what type of adhesive and liike clips or sumthin...thanks

 

well.....


suede
scissors
paint brushes (30 for $10 @ harbor freight)
gallon of contact cement (like $13 @ home depot)
several #8 1/2" self tapping screws + #8 washers (to put rear side + door panels back together)

that's about all you'll need.

 

Thank u once again neothin for helpin out...man u should start charging for all the questions you always answer!

 

was there just 1 clip at the top? i really wanna do this but dont wanna break something haha

 

Hmmmm.... We didn't go that route.

Our materials:
7 yards of Suede [$12/yard @ fabric store]
3 Cans of COM TAK spray adhesive contact cement [$9/can @ fabric store]

 

haha yeah i know that feeling. there's that one main "one time" use plug at the top and then two regular lil plastic easy to remove clips towards the middle and bottom.

 

 

guys have problem with it sagging due to the glue going bad after awhile?

 

looking good!

 

i doubt it. we used contact cement spray adhesive and it was nearly impossible to even reposition the suede if we messed up. so i do not see goin anywhere. :D

 

another Q..did you take the headliner off before the a pillar?
and how do you remove the headliner?
i might be making this harder than it really is lol
ive done this to my other car but didnt have the side curtain airbags to worry about

 

headliner comes off last.
just pull down.

 

i might do this for my next project ...how do you think the contrast would look with everything black, except the door panels and back panels being navy ?
