well ive looked everywhere and i cant seem to find a website that does custom door pannels. So if anyone has a website that would be great! also if not that then how could i make my own door pannels? I could buy the vinyl to do it, but i dont understand on how to do it. Anyways thanks! |

It's really easy. You can get the proper cardboard and thin closed-cell foam padding from any competent upholstery shop, or supplier. Use your old panel for a template for size and hole location, and save your old vinyl to make a pattern for the new material. Find a friend to sew the pieces of vinyl together, or have a shop do it for you. They won't charge much. Use a high quality spray adhesive to apply a layer of foam to the panel, then attach the vinyl. Don't glue the entire material...only the part that wraps behind the panel. You will see how the old vinyl is split around the back sides of the corners. Do the same with the new material to keep it tight and prevent bunching. Reinstall the spring clips and any chrome, and put the panel back on the car. Practice with some scrap material and you'll see how easy it is. |
