DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SET OF DIRECTION OR ADVICE ON REMOVING THE DOOR PANEL.

 

If somebody here doesn't post a website with instructions on it, e-mail me and I'll tell you how.

And please stop yelling.

 

Thanks for the link it did the job. Forgot to remove the door handle screw. Thanks again

 

...and how does one remove the inserts?

i've got leather waitng to go in. but, after taking the panels i don't see how.

thanks

 

Do not remove the cloth door inserts. Glue the leather insert right on top of cloth.

 

nope, i don't think that would workout. I'll take some pictures to explain.

thanks.

 

Where did you get your leather? Do you have leather or vinyl door insert?

 

leather is from a '97. GLE, i think.

 

Oh, I thought you got aftermarket leather. I glued leather door insert without removing cloth.

 

oh, I see. mine are 1 piece replace.

 

I think I know what you are talking about - you need to remove the entire door panel and you will see that the cloth or leather insert is held in place by metal tabes that are passed through the door and folded down on the backside of the panel. HOpe this helps.

 

i had no inserts. is this not true for 97+. i have a 95 and had no inserts. what i did was cut a piece of leather. then i got that stuff that goes in screen doors. you know the deallys that they use to secure them.. anyway if this wasnt descriptive enough lemme know

 

Yeah, you got the idea. But, I don't see those metal things on the backside of the panel. And I’ve removed 1 front and, 1 back panel.

The inserts look very much alike except that one is cloth and, the other leather.

 

Hi, follow the linkhttp://www.geocities.com/nj95gxe/95_...oor_Panel.html And you'll notice that I don't have where to pass the metal tabs trough. I might just rip off the stock inserts. And use a combination of the tabs and glue to hold the leather inserts in place. That would make the swap permanent. But, I think that I could live with that.

Any opinions before I take the steps of no return?

 

The only thing I would say is can you just make the holes you need in your panel for the inserts? That would probably be easier and not so permanent.

 

yep, that's what I'll try first. That will be the project for next weekend.

Thanks for your input.

 

Hope all goes well. Good luck Ahhhh, one thing I was thinking - make sure you don't make the holes so big that when you fold the tab over it doesn't really grab any of the door panel.
