Great channel 👌 Great source of inspiration, and as no professional wants to touch the interior of my car without asking for one of my two kidneys, this is probably how i will end doing it. Thanks for sharing ! Always said my 328is will be my coffin, if i would sell it, i don’t know what i would buy instead, and probably buy another one…😂
Hi, Its a great video. Thank you. I am doing mine currently. Might you have a video of the process of reupholstering the door panel insert? Thanks so much - Scott
The factory extended leather door cards have the seam running high up on the card and behind the centre cloth section, rather than at the bottom. This line then ties into a seam that runs along the bottom half of the dash board too. Not all the E36 doorcards have a centre panel which detaches either unfortunately - some (like mine) are one piece. Trying to track down a set myself so I can do the MRain cloth to match the rest of my interior.
Looks great mate! Did you at one point ever consider using a steamer the water seems to stretch materials much better than the heat gun alone. Basically a trade secret 🤫
Thanks mate, appreciate it. I'd be the first to admit that I am no professional upholsterer. I wanted to get as close to OEM as possible and make it easy for people to replicate at home.
Amazing detailed video bro. I just took mine out to reglue the plastics at the back to make them stay on door properly but now i think i need to do this while there off. Can you please share link to get rails for the top to connect to the door please. Cheers love content your chanels underated keep it up for us e36 lovers and owners
On some vinyls you can peel off the cloth backing (with enough determination) which helps MASSIVELY with stretch. Maybe it would be possible to do the vinyl in a single piece like that. It´s been a while since I´ve had my door cards apart but iirc that´s how the oem vinyl is, no backing. The only downside I´ve found is the vinyl will tear when you go beyond max stretch without enough heat but it´s pretty easy to get used to.
Yeah thats a good point actually. When I removed to old vinyl there was no cloth backing. Thinking back, the cloth backing on the vinyl I used didn't seem like it would come off easily
@@thedetailformula7046 Yeah there´s different backings, I don´t think any are designed to peel off put some do. The backing is also what determines the stretch direction. Most are more stretchy in one direction than other. Your two piece design worked out good too👌
Salute mate, First things first awesome job!!! I’m kind of in the middle of reupholstering my door cards too and I’m curious how much m rain fabric do I need for door panels and seats front and back. Will appreciate your help Much thanks! My car is 328i coupe just in case :)
Very nicely and well explained! I was thinking though, what if you would cut out the holes for the pockets before you add the vinyl? Maybe then you can make it out of 1 piece? But I like your solutions aswell, it looks professional!
Thanks mate! I think cutting the holes might work but would be pretty tough to know how big they should be and where to put them. Pretty easy to make mistakes I think. Don’t know till you try it I guess!
I was told to use a two part epoxy glue for those glue in sections. Makes sense, but I'm just wondering how the Gorilla glue is holding up ? My map bins at the bottom have separated when trying to pull the door card off and am considering using the epoxy. What do you reckon mate ?
Yeah I’m sure you can but I struggled. After a couple of failed attempts I decided to go the 2 piece route and I’m really happy with it. It may have been the vinyl I used being not stretchy enough, not sure. Or just not talented enough! 😂

I went to a prfessional shop first and they wouldn't even touch it! Couldn't believe it. Next shop was going to charge over $1000 per door card....
Grandioso. excelente el reemplazo por un material diferente y colorido.
Awesome job mate thanks for uploading ✌️
Awesome Job!!! Hope when it gets warm in the car the glue you use does it s job
Yeah I agree!

Great video and help! I could not find on the other video listed the covering of the insert for the front door. Where can I find it? Thank you!
Looks great mate!

Realy good job.thumbs up. But with just a few sewing seams it would give the vinyl a custom touch...

Where did you get the metal piece that clips on the top of the door
Great video good sir. Maybe I missed it, but can you link or point me in the right direction where to get the vinyl you used??
Thank you mate. See link below for the vinyl i used.

Hey mate, the door cards used about 1.5m I'd say. At a guess you'd need at least another 5m to do the seats
Very nicely and well explained! I was thinking though, what if you would cut out the holes for the pockets before you add the vinyl? Maybe then you can make it out of 1 piece? But I like your solutions aswell, it looks professional!

links to adhesives that you used in this video? thank you !
Great video. Where did you get the speakers?
Hey mate, they are just the stock ones. I think I’ll upgrade all the speakers at some point. After wheels and suspension though!
I was told to use a two part epoxy glue for those glue in sections. Makes sense, but I'm just wondering how the Gorilla glue is holding up ?
My map bins at the bottom have separated when trying to pull the door card off and am considering using the epoxy. What do you reckon mate ?
Hey mate, the gorilla glue has been super strong. Almost to strong so if let it set and it’s wrong, you won’t be able to get it off.
what gorrila glue did you use? Link?
Bravo
Bravo

Where did you get the mrain fabric?
I actually got the fabric from Etsy. Seller was called Berry I think. I just found the foam backing was to thick but it was easy to pull off
You can do the whole card from one piece I have done it but you need to carefully and patient
Yeah I’m sure you can but I struggled. After a couple of failed attempts I decided to go the 2 piece route and I’m really happy with it. It may have been the vinyl I used being not stretchy enough, not sure. Or just not talented enough! 😂
I wodmee of there's a way to make thsi carbon fibre
Post a link for the vinyl
