DIY: Door Inserts (on 10th gen)

[FlawedLegacy]

OK, finished the inserts today. Here is a super basic DIY for anyone curious.
1. Remove door panel
2. *Not NEEDED but found helpful* Tape off around the fabric already on the door to keep the spray adhesive off the door.


3. Cut out a crude shape of the fabric shape *BE SURE TO LEAVE A NICE OVERLAP FOR TUCKING IN!*


4. Spray a nice layer of Spray Adhesive on the existing fabric. Cover the edges and folds really well!!


5. Spread out the fabric and lightly press it down to keep it in place.


6. Start using an old Credit Card to wedge it into the creases. (*It helps to slightly bend the door panel to create a larger opening*)


7. Cut away and major access to keep your work down to a minimum


8. Keep using that CC and tucking in the fabric while making sure there are no creases and it is sticking to the original fabric


*If you get stuck as I did on the door handle area, it helps A LOT to have a small needle-nose pliers. Grab the already tucked in and gently pull while working in the direction desired.




Continue tucking, pulling and smoothing until...


Install and enjoy!

hey you know you didnt need to spray the glue but good job

[FlawedLegacy]

yeah you do, in fact, I need to redo the back doors as it is not sticking by the arm rest as I pulled it so tight it pulled away from the bend.

i did this to my 9th gen and i had no problem i guess the way its shaped is causing that

[FlawedLegacy]

yeah, if it was flat it wouldn't need it, but it bends inward, so it is definitely needed on the 10th gens

hey how does those redbull shot taste like do they taste the same as the regular one

[FlawedLegacy]

lol, they are ok. I use the container to hold quarters. I prefer the normal, but it's been a while since I had it.
