Thanks for posting this. I'm in the middle of trying to repair a driver side door card I bought. I am doing a tan to black interior swap. The fiber part is actually crushed, so I am figuring I will have to take my tan panel apart and try to recover that and put it in the black card. I was sort of hoping I could maybe re use the already formed vinyl, but I guess not? I probably won't be able to clean it up well enough to re glue, right? It's going to make this more difficult than I thought but do able.

Did you buy vinyl with a foam backing on it or just skip the foam part? I don't know if it's necessary or not.

I was actually thinking of re doing them in a dark red/black plaid in an upholstery material OK, maybe not. My seats are black and red, it might look good with the right plaid. I'd be happy if I can get the vinyl back on there
Thanks for your post! Super Job, hope I can do half as well.
Tracy
