Removing the door panel fabric may be harder than you expect--I worked on mine yesterday and did not even really try to take it off; upholstery adhesive is meant to be permanent. I just laid new fabric over--it smooths out very nicely and fits in all the tight spots no problem. I chose fake suede, which is a bit stretchy...neoprene might be even easier to fit.
