I have a Q. about the SE/GLE door panels, under where you all have the fuzzy door inserts, how are they attached? are they just glued to the panel? or are they a seperate part like how the leather insert is?

What Im trying to do is because I have a gxe with nothing on there, I want to make some vinyl to go there but Im just wondering whats the best way to attach it.

 

They are part of the door, not separate like the leather inserts are. I wanted to do the same thing as you to complete my black leather interior swap, the grey cloth inserts were killing me.
MaxedOut makes custom inserts that look just like leather and come in many colors, they fit perfect too.
Took me a couple hours to glue the inserts on and tuck the edges in around the existing insert. Now my doors look sick and I have NO more grey cloth anywhere. Only cost me $39 shipped too!!!

 

I know what your talking about but I already have custom door inserts like what Maxedout sells, BUT. what I was talking about is the part at the bottom of the doors, like below the window switches are.

 

you have cloth on that part of your door? and about your sig pic we need to see the pic of your nice Pebble Beige Maxima again!

and my guess is that they are probably glued heat them up and they should come off.....

 

the thing is that I dont have nothing at all on teh bottom oarts of the door thats why i want to put something there. The SE/gle guys have fizzy felt in that area so I wanted to know how they are attached thats all.

 

help?

 

sorry, i do not have fuzzy thingies..



mine are smooth plastic

 

in this pic where the aluminum is you have cloth?

 

yes i have seen that.. i was like WTF...

 

No, I have nothing there at all, What I am asking is how does the SE maxima(which has fuzzy cloth), how does it attach> I want to put something there but I want to know how its attached from the factory. glued?

 

I'm guessing its glued. If I remember correctly, I remember seeing some1's start peeling.
I don't have anything there either, could it b a GXE thing?

 

i don't have anything there on my SE either, BUT, my roommate's I30 has the fuzzy fabric you're talking about. i've attempted to add something like it to my car also. in looking at his car it appears as if it's very thin fabric that is glued on. no big deal at all.

i went to an auto upholstery store and picked some out that looked like it would work. i used a big sheet of newspaper taped to the door to create a template for the fabric pieces. bought some 3M spray adhesive from an auto parts store to stick it on with. only problem is, the fabric i got is too thick and it sticks out weird. didn't look very good so i removed it. i plan on trying it again, but i think the trick is going to be a VERY THIN type of fabric.

if you can get it to work, please let me know how it turns out. i'd love some advice.

 

The fuzzy fabric is glued to the door panel. It will come right off with little effort. It leaves the glue residue behind it. I would suggest covering up the area with say Shadows Aluminum door kit or something like that. That glue may be quite hard to take off, but I do not know though.

 

To answer your original question. The fuzzy thin carpet type of clothes materials were glued on to the door panel on SE/GLE's with Leather package.

But I have Wood Trim down there now..
