| For the past two day's I've been attempting to cover the door upholstery panels. I bought some thin foam from the upholstery |
|
| shop (aprox 3/36") and glued it to the fiberglass upholstery panel using some spray-on glue (like super sticky stuff). I then took |
|
| one of the matching leather pieces I got from Classic Aero, and using Pliobond glued it to the bottom of the panel. The results |
|
| were unsatisfactory. despite stretching the leather, it would 'bunch' at the corners of the compound curves. Frustrated with the |
|
| process, I slept on it over night, then solicited Judy's help today. She suggested I use the tweed fabric, that I originally |
|
| purchased, I was reluctant because the color is not an exact match, but Judy insisted that the color was very compatible. With |
|
| he help we cut a large piece and did some test applications, beacuse it's fabrc, it works the compound curves EXTREMELY |
|
| WELL!!!. So I proceeded the process of glueing the fabric to the foam covered door panel. I began with the contoured/recessed |
|
| sections and then worked out from there. I also found a very nice metal finished trim ring that's just exactly the right size to finish |
|
| off the opening for the door handle. I went back and forth on how to attach the panel, between snap in auto panel fasteners and |
|
| velcro. I found some 'ulta thin ' velcro and decided that is the way most of the vendors do their panels, and it would be good. I'm |
|
| VERY happy with the way this has turned out, it should provide some sound proofing as well as being very attractive. |
