How to make leather door panels? I've got the leatherette.

Post by peterm3150 »

Hi all,

A year or so ago when I bought leatherette seats from Proseat I also got included free door panels. Turns out the free panels was just a big square of leather big enough to cover both of them. I am meaning to cover the part of the doors that when stock is fabric.

How do I go about doing it? Do the different parts of the door separate from each other? If not how do you get the leather wrapped neatly around the edges?
Also what adhesive would you recommend?

If there's anyone in Melbourne who knows what they're doing I'd be happy to pay for you to do it.

Thanks.
Pete

they do separate, from memory into 3 parts (not including the handle and door cup etc), the main card, the fabric part and the pocket part. Just take the door card off and undo all the screws at the back, it's fairly straight forward.

and you need upholstery glue, a heat gun and a lot of patience. I know some ppl have issues with getting the concave part to stick because of the gradient.
