The solder iron is for melting the white plastic rivets to remove the panel then to replace it. There's pics on the first page. I am very pleased with the outcome, just needed a little patience..

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.

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.

where did you get that material? that's hot!

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.
