Door Fabric Panel Replacement

[redyaris]

I have ordered red and black neoprene seat covers. Soon I will be rid of blue polka dots forever~

I want to replace or cover the polka dot door fabric panels in red neoprene. I assume I will have to remove the entire door panel. Is there an easier way?:iono:

Has anyone done this yet? Thanks.

I had a shop do mine in leather. I didn't see them do it, but its obvious that they removed the panel, removed the fabric, stretched the leather over the panel and glued it in place around the back edges.

I'm not a fan of the polka dots either.

violin how much did your conversion cost?
and did they do the whole car in leather?

[MrJester]

oooooooh Leather on the inside must feel oh so nice and sweet. :) Yes prcing on that is a must I would love to do that to mine.

Not the whole car, just the seats and door panels where the cloth once was. :wink:

Its been a year now, but I think it was $1,100. I had the dealer farm it out to a local shop before I picked it up.

I only wish I'd taken the heated seat option they offered.

[jamal1984]

dealer here in GA ask for $795 to replace the fabric seat and door panel to Leather.

[MrJester]

$1100 is a little bit pricey not worth it to me. :(

[ChinoCharles]

How much did they want for the heated seats Rob?

[Violin]

Is this a memory test?

I think it was like $150 - $175.

[MrJester]

Congratulations you passed. :)

Found a source for cheap neoprene. They have 'firey red', dark red, 'dazzling blue', dark blue, black, and 'rabbit grey' available in 1.5mm up to 5mm thickness. All the neoprene has black backing.

http://www.rockywoods.com/neoprenes_main.htm

To cover both panels I ordered 3mm fabric (part number 20068-2, the thinnest available in firey red) approx 52" (132 cm) wide. It can be cut to size needed.

I estimated each panel @ 40" wide X 16" tall. This is an overestimate to compensate for wrapping.

I ordered a quantity of three units (1 yard) @ $12.33 each = $36.99 + shipping of $8.50 = $45.49.

That price is not too bad for specialty fabric like that. I also bought a yard of fabric and it was plenty, tho not much left over. I made a paper pattern out of newsprint first--measure twice cut once doncha know. :smile:

neoprene... realy? are you that Project "Why?" brother? come on, if you are going to be cheep about it use Vinyl from the fabric store, it is cheep, it comes in different colors.... and it would look much better than neoplene

I decieded on microsuede for my panels, I gotta get those blue polka dots outta there

[churp]

Anybody try a black permanent marker on the dots yet....it's in my budget so I may have to.

[Typer73]

I LIKE the little blue "dots" and they're not really dots, they're little blue W's. (but I do wish they were red!)

[tiksman]

someone did color them red. They posted on here a while back. dont remember the username :iono:

[uncleyaris]

Use a red permanant marker.

[brickhardmeat]

Use a red permanant marker.

:barf:

[redyaris]

Anyone that takes the time to hand color the dots is indeed worthy of the phrase 'anal obsessive'.

Permanent marker? Pen? Now thats some desperation to get rid of them! Why dont we just spray paint each dot? Quicker and more color options.

[HTM Yaris]

I love polka dots . I have a polka dot bedroom . Seriously . This is the reason I love dots:bow: I have the replica (Jackson)of this guitar

[death is my gift]

i hate those f n "w's" too. i'm looking to cover that crap up. or rip it out. there are other things i wanna do first. like, gas cap and new exhaust.

Good work Brick, you got it in one try :tongue: Maybe if I had stuck to discussions on physics of sprung/unsprung and rotating/reciprocating mass my secret would be safe... :wink:

I bet many guys would consider a Yaris hatch a girly car. It *is* one of the smallest cars you can easily buy.

You know, the kind of guys that only drive trucks.

Got my marker out today....did a couple out of the way just to see. Worked pretty good. :thumbup: If I decide to finish, bet I'd be done sittin under the shade tree with my iced tea before 1 door panel would ever get upholstered....and like Pavel says my retirement will still be safe!!!!:biggrin:

Everybody doesn't take old toads serious do they??? (But maybe they are serious!!!!) Seriously I wouldn't paint my interior pieces!!!!
