S14 Door Panel Upholstery Question

[Shusaka]

How do you reupholster the door panel insert on an S14, i was looking for a write up or just dumb luck through pix but when i searched i didn't find anything on this particular topic. I would like to redo in black suede but am in over my head kinda because i haven't done interior upholstering before and the "Kings Of Interior" thread got me all riled and excited to do it, so i bought the material got home, looked at the door panel and went #$%#, ($%*, etc, etc. So long rambling cut short, any of you S14 Interior Kings, want to help me out?

P.S. Broadfield, You Sir, Are a Badass, cleanest S-Chassis ever

We should really make a NOTM (noob of the month), you would be my first pick my friend.

To the OP:In the S13 the upholstery on the door panel is only held on by glue, I could imagine it would be the same with the S14 although I have never worked on one. Try to get a heat gun or even a hair dryer and gently pry at any corner of the upholstery while heating it up a little bit. If it peels off like it would in the S13 then just reapply the new material, try searching too, its been covered a few times in the S13. Don't quote me on this though, like I said I've never worked on an S14.

I clicked on this thread because I was also thinking about redoing the door inserts in my S14 with a different material. Maybe Bride fabric or suede. But of course, nothing in this thread is pertinent to the OP's request about a specific write up for the S14. Gee whiz, who would have guessed?
