Been looking for a “how to” on removing those fabric pieces. Just picked up some today. Going to tackle this. Thanks a lot for the vid ! Going on my 15 FoST
@@peterle8951 I actually still haven’t done it, haha. Got my fabric from a local “fabric land”. What are you trying to remove the old glue from? If it’s the door card, I’d say a bit of heat, goo gone, and patients.
Just as a heads up, there is also a screw hidden behind the red reflector. The reflector slides out towards the edge of the door. If you pull the door panel before removing the screw you risk breaking the plastic clip around the screw or having the door panel feel loose after reinstallation. Found out someone had done that on my car before I bought it.
If you have a vacuum bag you can use that to hold down the fabric tight to the piece over night until the glue sets. Prior to getting a nice vacuum bag set up I used the cheap space savers to good effect for putting veneer or fabric on oddly shaped components.
Just made one with hot glue and some cruddy glue. I'm confident it might last awhile but it was pretty cheap. The old fabric was all crusty poked my arm on days where you want to hang your arm out the window.
I suggest a air hammer air chisel thing to get the rivets off. So you don’t actually drill down into the plastic you need to screw it in.. maybe I’m just inpatient and special idk 😂
I just did this. Red on a race red focus at. Vary vary hard to drill them out. And not take to much off where u can screw the wood screws in.. I had two screws barely pop threw. But the fabric looks great. I suggest a air chisel to get the rivets off. I just ordered one. Will probably get new door panels and redo it.
hey brother do you know what the part number is for that part? can’t redo the upholstery cus like the frame or whatever is like broken… i think someone applied a lot of pressure to it and broke it
Any idea why my alcantara on my door card inserts has come away and sagged? It was stuck down to the moulded panel for a week before it was installed. It was hot today I wonder if the heat has done something to make the fabric loose it's contact with the panel?
You’re actually supposed to coat a thin layer on both sides that will be touching and let them dry until tacky and then stick them together. Once you touch them together they will not want to separate so you gotta be careful. We use something similar in aviation called 1300L AKA elephant snot.
@@Nickjoenap the fabric on mine ( rs mk3) detached and came out at the seam between top part and where your red starts. i just put glue and tried to pull and push it back in. end result is hard to tell but i got it just to line up at the edge. it is as if the fabric contacted and barely big enough to tuck it in again. i did not remove the panel
Okie TC not sure, it’s technically microfiber since it’s fake suede but if one got stained I’d probably just replace it since it was so cheap. The adhesive might come off with chemicals I guess I’ll have to test it
Castille soap and a boars hair brush. Super easy to care for. It will get nasty and grimy fast, but super easy to maintain and clean. I love alacantra and other synthetic suedes, but they are kinda high maintenance in touch areas.
Subbed, that looks great! I wanna do something like this with my door panels sometime!! I have a channel as well but it’s heavy auto body diy and stuff dealing with my Infiniti Q50. Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Where do you guys get the fabric and how do you clean and remove the old glue??

That looks mint even with the small inperfections from the material
Yeah even with the creases it’s better than stock which is what I was going for

Gabriel Zilnik that’s a good idea
I’ve watched u for a bit now smart young lad u are haha imma prolly do this but with recaro fabric
My 91' accord has the classic american style carpets on its doors and ive wanted to get rid of them since the day i bought it.
Sick!, on my to do list now.
I’m using this deep yellow velvet fabric
Bro this is AWESOME and black n red are my colors n theme in my car too THAX FOR SHARING ‼️👍
Looks very good..

I need to do this to my JZX100 door panels
for that crease you couldve probably cut it a bit to relax the fabric like you would do for a wrap, but I'm just guessing
Instead of using screws is there a tool I can get to remove the rivets and then get new plastic rivets to put in?
Plastic welder with sticks of material. Just like soldering.
Where did you get the shifter boot and the carbon fiber trim around the shifter

I'm sure that will be inexpensive
love it.
gonna give it a go!
My oem panel has bubbles in it. Are you able to remove the existing fabric instead of going over the top of the existing?
Thanks, it's a door panel
Does this paint doesnt come off when you touch it with hand when it is hot ?

Why aren't you removing the old cloth?
Hey man this looks really good. I was thinking about trying to tackle this and was wondering how have they held up over the past year?
they still look the same and have stuck down fine
@@Nickjoenap Awesome thanks! Think I'll be tackling this as my next project then!
the 77 adhesive didn’t work for me. i used the 90. way better and its heat resistance

is it possible to do the top part? the one that is the length of window
samsonyunited I was thinking about doing that in black suede but I’m not completely sure how they come off. They might not need to though

How would you wash them ? Any specific chemicals ?

Where do you get the cloth??
I got it at jo ann’s fabric
What was the fabric called when looking on jo Ann’s website?
i got it at their store but i think it’s microfiber suede
@@Nickjoenap ok, thank you I appreciate it!
What is your location lol
I want to pay you for this

Thanks! The Q50 looks clean man!
Nickjoenap appreciate it! Gotta support my fellow youtubers!
You skipped all the important steps. Lol😂.
