Before and after.

 

Very nice

 

Well done a big improvement you see every time your in the car!

 

Thanks. Up close I see every mistake I made.

 

Nothing amateur about that! great job.

 

While you may be able to see every mistake, others do not. The end product of your efforts is impressive!

 

Thanks, I enjoyed doing it, had a local upholsterer do the armrest cover.

 

Looks good!

Question- do they have a formed steel top rail under the vinyl, or is it just a vinyl flap that wraps over and clips into the window channel?

 

Steel top rail under vinyl, was pressed into panel board. I removed board, ground down the rail and glued and riveted rail to new board with countersunk rivets. There were some small dents in the rail I didn't see until vinyl was down. Should have been filled.

 

I agree with everyone, looks very nice. Something to be proud of every time you get into your car. Upholstery work takes alot of patience , you nailed it with a Job well done.

Rambow- How did the factory staple to the metal?

To the rear panels. I would need more vinyl and work done at the upholsterer to continue, so i am thinking this.
1st pic- There is a tear in the top center of the panel
2nd pic- Thinking SEM and some customizing with some stuff I have laying around. What do you think? The cardboard is roughly the seat line.

 

Instead of using carpet to trim it out.
