Would you be willing to sell the pattern layout?
How did you stitch the two pieces together?
You did a good job. I've been doing auto upholstery for 24 years. I have my own shop in Hagerstown. Just a few tips for you and those watching. 1. Wait an hour or so until the glue drys good. It wont pull off and you can move it around without it sticking before you want it too. 2. Drill holes in the back flange and reattach it with a 2 part epoxy. Use adhesive promoter on the door panel to help the epoxy stick to certain plastics like polypropylene. Norton's structural adhesive, Speed grip 5 after the panel is clamped in place works great.
Thanks for a great video and explanation. Your a true craftsman.
I watch so many upholstery video looking for a particular task but none and absolutely none explain how to attach the insert back to the door panel. I guess that mean you are the best, period. That is my story and I am sticking to it. I have been looking for that last step how to attach the insert and you are the only one who show and explain how.
Oh wow. This video is such a huge blessing! Very well executed, direct and to the point. Wish me luck, this video gave me the confidence to take on this diy project:)
Thank you for making this easy step by step tutorial. My '02 VW Beetle panels are starting to peal off and I keep getting that sticky crap on my hand every time I open the dam door. After watching this video, I know I can fix it myself rather than pay 3x as much for someone else to do it.
Do you work on the back seat area side panels at all?
Thank you Mr William great video
Mr. Hall, first off thanks, my '01 NB has the same type of failure and that inner material has separated. At 1:03 you showed that the door card frame was broken and mentioned you would show how to fix it, I didn't catch it in this video. Did you melt it together/ weld it with the soldering iron and zip ties as filler material? I love the idea of using the zip tie ratchet end as a fastener…WIN!!!
I’ve a door panel that seems to have a hardened type, almost rubber-like, foam backing that the material was easily removed from. Must I remove this too?, or can I just use my rubber cement on it. It’s really solidly applied to the plastic molded door panel and seems securely set. My concern is applying the rubber cement (going to use weldwood brand) to this rubber-like material.
Excelent video
Very well explained.
I subscribed and keep the videos coming.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great job! You’re video was tremendously well done, great camera work and editing. The thing that is so wonderful is your calm and easy going demeanor. Thank you so much. I’ve got a t-100 Toyota truck with those darned heat-stack, melted in plastic rivets too. However, because you did so terrific a job at the step by step, I’m more comfortable with dremeling off the heads, drilling in and using a screw to hold it in place. I’ve got a pattern (stripe) on my material though. Your experience showed great sewing for the material to not bunch up. Now I just need to place the stripes where they’ll be the least trouble about making them remain vertical through the bends and curves.
is that something you can do if I mailed the cleaned part?
Im not repairing anything, i still watched the whole video.excellent job sir.
Awesome tip with the zip ties! Thank you very much for the great vídeo, and I have subscribed to learn more from you. Thank you very much again! 😉
i call it a "BASEBALL STITCH" Mr hall !!!!!!!
