Decided to Re-do the interior today.. door panels and center console.. next is making a heat shield for the short ram and re-carpeting
OLD
the tools I used..
Philip screwdriver
3M grade 2 spray glue
Upholstery from Hobby Lobby (had 5 yards on clearance for $4 for the whole thing)
Utility knife
and a trusty butter knife
First took off the door card, First screw was cupholder, second was by the mirror and the 3rd was in the clip behind the door handle,Lift up but dont tear off too quickly as you have to unclip the connectors for power locks/windows if you have them. After the door card is off just dig the butter knife NEAR the edge to get a corner of the upholstery up and pull gently with your hands, it will most likely leave alot of the carpet behind so what i did was just took my butter knife and scraped away at it all until it was all gone,
precut enough to hang over on each side then applied the glue to the area and a little on the fabric itself DO NOT OVERSPRAY otherwise there is a good chance the glue will bleed through and ruin it
then pulled it with the palm of my hand until very tight then tucked the fabric with the butter knife on the sides and let dry, after trying you trim away excess with the utility knife and this is it after
Put it back on the door, reconnected clips first and when re-mounting it has to clip on the window part first
while waiting I also had a water leak problem and sanded away all the rust
and coated it with rubberized undercoating ( @ lowes for $7 a can)
its supposed to deaden sound and prevent rust?
and I also fixed my headlight problem, new headlight switch all problems fixed and also got a new passenger side headligth because the other ones clips were ruined and allowed water in.. and I think the previous owner converted it to a 97+ front end... how can I tell the difference because the light I had gotten came from a 99 integra and fit almost perfectly
