Leather Interior

Okay after a ruff weekend I tried installing my leather. Everything came out great. But the doors came out like ****. It seems the tool I was using scuffed the leather around the edges, where you try to shove the leather in. Does any1 know any tool that can be used to shove the leather in but at the same time not damage it.

Re: Leather Interior

You could get a strong thin object and then use silicone calking to attach soft felt. Let that dry and presto.

That's what I would do.

On the last car I installed leather, I used my wife's frosting knife for the inserts. Its like a small, thin putty knife but all the edges are rounded so nothing sharp to catch the leather on. They run about $6 at any good bakery supply place. I know, because I had to buy her another one
