I didn't remove the fabric, just sprayed some 3M adhesive trim, layed down the suede and folded over the edges while smoothing it out. It's pretty easy!

To put the middle piece back in, just get a hot glue gun and glue sticks and while pressing down, re-glue the holes and it dries quickly.

everyone says they dont like the color but i think it flows a little better than the black. I am really diggin it right now, and if you like it then that is all that matters. Let us know if you decide to do the back!

good job, looks much better now...i just got done w/ mine...did you do the panels in the rear too?

mengsta

Is the rear just as easy to pop off as the door panels?

yeah, its pretty easy...just lift up on both sides of the bottom portion of the backseat and take it out. then remove the little grocery hook things (on either the top or bottom of each there will be a little tab that you can push in, then turn the hook counterclockwise and remove). After you remove the seat and the hooks, there's a fastener on each side under the seat snapping into the carpet...remove both of these as well. Now you can remove the panels. (I found it easiest to pull on the cupholders first to loosen it, then remove the rest)

After that just follow the same steps you used to take apart the front door panels and you're set!

mengsta

iight thanks!

mengsta

wait so thers no screws or nothing i need to know about?

tcbabe

nope, not when you're removing the panels...but if you prefer, instead of using a hot glue gun to put the sections back together, i chose to use screws there...its easier to take apart then if you see a part where you may have a bubble or something, or even if you decide to change your fabric again later down the road... it's easier than having to dremel the hot glue apart again.

mengsta

yeah exactly, drilling new screws in was already a better decision to me then welding it over.. Ill have to start this 2moro.. I got the panells off already tho.. The plastic welds that hold the door middle inserts seem hard to get off, any advice?

I just used a dremmel tool to cut the weld...takes about 5 min to get all the welds cut and pull everything apart.

amazing job props to ya!

mengsta

ahh, well for sum reason i dont have a dremel on me hehe. I guess ill just try my best.

optional

yeah I used my dremel and a drill to remove the welds that held the panels together, then I used screws and some washers on certain parts to put the panels back together, and hot glue'd over them just in case

I really wanted them back solid.

mengsta

o iight, i guess ill use a drill too then,, pullem off by hand seems too hard lol

optional

oh yeah, i'd definitely say it was too hard to pull them, those things were on pretty tight.

mengsta

hmm did u guys re-use the recycled cotton thingy behind the door insert? Mine got all F*cked up, removing it, becuz certain welds were connected to the cotton pad. Im assuming its for sound deadening, hope u guys know wha im talkin about.

mattieg

dude just junk that crap. Your talking about the dark gray material that looks like it has bits and pieces of other cotton in it. Throw it away and dont worry about it.

mengsta

Lol yeah thats wha im talkin about. haha thought so, but hey i thought it would add sound deadening. but yeah my ____ dint come out too well. and what size screws did u guys use? hopefully 8-18x 1/2 isnt too small. i kno 1/2" is a good length since it isnt long enough to go thru the other side.

thanks,
