Door panel fabric, replacement or other....

[BackRoadCB7]

My door panel fabric started to fall off due to heat. I attempted to reglue the fabric with 3m headliner glue, since the stuff is pretty strong. It held for awhile and then fell again. I was wondering what some of you have done. Whether it be to replace it or anything else thanks.

I had the exact same problem. Spray adhesive will do no good as you found out, I had a shop use staples and glue and so far it has held pretty well.

I'm thinking of maybe re doing them with a different pattern possibly or pulling it off and removing the glue residue.

spray both surfaces with the adhesive and let it sit and get tacky. Then you push them together. That is how that glue works; you can't just spray it on and stick it.

Yes im aware ive done headliners in cars and many other things. But just like headliners you have to replace the material.

I have successfully reattached the original fabric with 3M heavy duty spray adhesive. The other option is to find a good set of the SE leather inserts on the stamped steel form. I had a stained set and was able to paint the vinyl a contrasting color to hide the stains. You can see the results in my MRT.

Yes I used that exact spray. The leather looks good. I guess I mainly was seeing what alternatives were out there. Mainly do something different but tasteful. If not I may experiment myself and post the results.

Quick question.. How do I add a different fabric/vinyl ? Do I have to remove the door handle that has the window button or what?

[Jarrett]

Yes. It's kind of a pain to do, too. There are a few screws that hold it in as well as two or three large clips (depending on whether you have a coupe or sedan). The clips are what are slightly difficult.

On my next day off, I'll look into doing it. Thanks man

The fabric along the bottom of my passenger door started peeling off. I used a hot glue gun and slowly reapplied it with a generous amount of glue. It's not a high traffic area like yours might be, but it's in great shape still. Door gets opened often since it's where my daughters car seat it, and is holding up. Might be worth a try too.

I'll try this out because I have to take off my door panel for my window regulator anyways.. Thanks for the info.

Mine are all falling off. I'm going to try new vinyl and see how it holds. I need to re skin the door panels anyways so it may be a full recover of the doors. We will see.

Let me know if it works out. I know it's different material, but mine has held up great. I did the same with my driver side speaker cover, which I usually catch on my shoes when getting out of the car. Just a bit of glue around the fabric and it's held up well.
