My drivers side door panel had some tears in it from the previous owner. I just bought a replacement door panel that looks great but has the wrong fabric on it. I'd like to swap the fabric from my old panel and put it on my new door panel. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

just pull the fabric off of both of them. Theyre just black under the fabric and it looks good. you Just pull it off and clean up the little bit of glue that itll leave.

so your saying under the OEM fabric is just plain black? Is it black leather or black plastic?

pulling the fabric off of an s13 door panel will reveal the same black vinyl as the rest of the panel. i'm not sure if doing it on an s14 will yield the same results. also, pulling off the fabric will probably ruin it so swapping may not be possible.
