recovering door inserts

[Ryencool]

is there a write up for this anywhere? I cant find one? do you just use spray glue and put some fabric down or do you have to sew? Mine are peeling off and I cant figure out the best way to do it. Thanks!

use spray glue and put some fabric down

unless you're going to put leather/vinyl which doesn't stretch as well, then there's some sewing involved.

When I recovered mine to match the leather seats, I simply cut the new material about 1/2" larger than the insert, masked the insert area on the door, sprayed the area with standard fabric glue, layed the material over the sprayed area, smoothed it from the center to the edges and pushed the overlaps down into the groves with a clean flathead screwdriver. Worked great, that is until some idiot decided to pull them off thinking he had bought my car while it sat in my friend's shop ... long story. Anyway, it's easy to do.

Mines an s13, I think the inserts are a little harder to cover. I was going to do black micro suede. Cover the door inserts and the dash. Im wondering if I can just spray some adhesive/fabric glue and just spread it out. The other problems is my inserts are poping off hte doors, IM not sure why or how as I bought it like that. Ill go take some photos and post them, then youll see why I want to replace them

it looks like it might have already been recovered once, which means the previos owner did a sh** job.maybe Im wrong though

[Ryencool]
