I have one S13 with ruined interior.This might even work on the cracked HUD Dash!It probably would, just make sure you get a flexible enough material.

  <description>Quote, originally posted by bjohnson as far as i know i dont think it comes apart. you mean remove the door panel and do it on a flat surfaceYou are correct, the door panel does not come a part. However you can remove the trays at the bottom of the door panel.Other than that, I believe he was trying to say it may be easier if we take the door panel off of the door frame.</description>

  <description>I got sick of my doorpanels being rough and not comfy so i decided to try my hand at recovering them. i thought it turned out really well. much better than i ecpected.i love the material i picked out. it is almost a felt-like material and it is easily strechable, which is very important for this diy project.I bought 1.5 yard of this doubleovered material at walmart for $6 and a can of elmers craft spray glue for $5Cost: $11Time: 1 hour, but take your timematerials: fabric of your choice, spray glueTools: Screwdriver, razor blade, blowdrier or heat gun, and scissorsIf you havent removed the tweed from you door panels yet this is the first thing you should do. here is a link to the write up for that.http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.phpid=175775Heres all the stuff i usedThis is what the door panel looks like with the tweed removedstart by removing the handle trim, holy sh*t handle etc.next, cut enough material for it to be draping over your door panel. (it will be a lot easier if you do this instead of trying to hold it up while gluing)start spaying glue in the middle of the door panel and continue to glue arount the holes for the parts you must put back on. smooth out the fabric and make sure there are no creases.now, using the razor blade, cut a hole for the little handle thing and put the handle thing back on. (this will help keep the fabric in place)then the holy sh*t handleand then the handle/lock trimnow you are going to need the blow drier/heat gun to heat up the material to make it more strechy and easier to work with. after heating, glue the area with the large curve making sure there are no creases in the fabric. (this was surprisingly easy with the material i used)once all the fabric on the panel is glued down for the most part you can trim the fabric smaller so its easier to work with the edges.the next part can be sort of tricky. do some fine trimming with the razor blade and leave about a centemeter of fabric from the crevas in the panel. you then tuck the fabric into the crevas while using a small amont of srpay glue on the very edge.continue tucking in the fabric around the entire panelonce you are done with that, the door panel is ready to go!i love the finished product. this is my favorite diy interior project so far.using the same material i also recovered my glovebox, padded my armrest, and made shift and e-brake boots. it gives your interior a much classier look and feel. i will post pics of my interior once enverything is complete.GOOD LUCK  </description>
