The job is easy enough if you want to do it on your own. Would not take any longer than 2 hours for all the panels front and back.

•just have to remove the door via screws

•disconnect power windows harnesses

•Straighten tabs on the panel to remove them from the door

•tear out old panel - try to keep the pattern in one piece, easier to trace out new pattern

•Use a adhesive remover like goo off to remove the remaining adhesive and parts of the fabric.

•Use a spray adhesive like 3M, spray the adhesive on the panel and the fabric; line up and apply

•let the adhesive dry for an hour for hadling and reinstall

Phamine,

I'm about to start on mine, I just want to clarify. You don't mean remove the doors as in take the whole door off the car? When you say door you mean the big panel that makes up the sides/armwrest/pocket?

How about those cloth inserts in the back seats? How do you get those out?

I haven't gotten my ass out in the cold to check it out and I thought I'd ask someone who looks like they've already done it.

Thanks

he means take the black panel off...then when the panel is off turn it over and you will see little triangle shaped pieces of metal bent over...unbend all of these and then turn the door panel over again and pull the insert off...that easy

ditto what ludester said. The rear is a bit time consuming if you dont want to take it off.

tools:

•phillips
•flathead screw driver
•plyers

Are you part of preludetuning 92 si ludester?

Here's a pic of the clips you have to remove


There is a FAQ on how to get the door panels off.
