tried replacing cloth door inserts with vinyl but.....
I read on here that the leather door insert piece was held in with clips or something thats on the back of the door panel so I said no problem, Ill just remove it from the door panel and put vinyl over my cloth insert but I found out that the cloth insert is just a piece of cloth glued on to the door panel itself instead of a seperate piece that is clipped on to the doors like I read about
Anyone have any ideas of how to replace the cloth on my doors?

You have to use some really good spray adhesive. that's what the interior shop did when they did my doors.

I had the cloth inserts. You have to remove that. And the rear deck is the same, pull the factory cloth/felt cover and revinyl it.

Shadow the door inserts look good, how did they get it on nice and tight and smooth? You 4th gen guys have the same problem i do with the door panels, the 3rd gen cloth is also glued right onto the door and is not a seperate detachable piece. Ill be replacing my cloth panels with black leather to match the seats (im making this a DIY job, im practicing on a scrap door panel from the junk yard before i start butchering mine) You happen to know what type of adhesive was used on your inserts?

No, do not remove the factory cloth in the door panels. Glue leather/vinyl over the cloth.
