Nice tutorial...This will be my next project...The previous owner had burnt holes in the fabric that I will definetly replace..
Just so I am 100% clear here, You sprayed the adhesive right on the old interior fabric? Then proceeded to wrap that?
Thanks

thats what i did and i worked fine for me http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/a..._random067.jpg black vinyl btw
Yeah just spray it right over the old fabric. I would recommend going to a fabric store and trying to find headliner spray glue, I used it and was happy with the stuff, it's holding my headliner up when the super 90 didn't even do it. This works for the door panels too.
I re-upholstered my doors a couple weeks ago. I actually cleaned the old panels before reuphosltering to remove any dirt or odors. The previous owner of my car was a smoker and the car smelled horrible. It actually removed alot of the odor. It also helped the adhesive bond better to the old and new fabric.
I also used 5/16's self tapping screws to attach the panel and door panel back together. Used 1/4" flat washers, because some of the holes where the plastic was melted opens up too much and the screw head actually slips through the opening. You can get a 50 pack of screws and washers, its more than enough.
Hey HungarianHunter, I have bought some headliner spray glue from Wal-Mart thats made by 3M. Is this the same thing you used? Im not too worried about the door panels, more worried about the headliner. Just dont want to get stuck doing it more than once, if you know what i mean. lol.
how do u cut it just right so it fits everything?
im in the boston area does anybody know where i could get some fabric lol home depot?
thanks man ill b sure 2 let u kno the results

Thanks guys
What fabric is that and how many yards did you use for all four? just curious.
just what i was looking for! thanks, i was wondering how you are supposed to get those clips off and i never even thought of melting it! gj
It's a black vinyl i picked up at a local fabric store,they had a couple different ones but the texture on this one was a little softer so it was easy to work with.
I bought two yards but only used 1.5 yards that's with cutting it a little bigger then trimming it.
And if i remember correctly i paid about $12.00 per yard
You can get some good black vinyl off amazon for about 4.95 a yard, Free shipping. And my problem is I don't know how to replace the rivets, I'm using screws right now but I messed up with the melting so I just got rid of them and now I'm having a bit of an issue with it.. Any suggestions? The screws only fit in a couple slots.
Do you need to remove the foam?
you can but it is not neccesary i didnt remove mine and this is the final product

Great tut!
subscribing for future reference
instead of melting the plastic rivets why not just take a drill bit drill enough of the head off, then use short screws with a large head to hold them, its an alternative to melting it.
I really wish my interior wasn't tan. I wanted to do the carbon fiber vinyl but i dont think it will look good with the tan. I might do the black vinyl.
Looks easier than I thought I'm definetly trying this next week
