Door Panel Fabric
 
I am thinking about changing the door panel fabric on all four panels on my PR5 to yellow, but am not too sure how to do it. I've been thinking about dying the fabric to yellow, but don't know what I have to do etc. so any insight or instructions on how to do so would be great. Also, I thought about reapholstering it with some suede. How would I go about getting this piece of fabric off my door panels to do this kind of mod?

I know nothing about dying but did help install shop tweed out my interior. It's not completely done but the door panels are on the top part. The cloth can peel right off. There's a piece of vinyl underneath the cloth. You can cut it and peel it off too which is what we did but be careful not to peel off the foam underneath the vinyl. It gives the new cloth a nice flush look with the rest of the foor panel. Getting the right kind of glue is important too (I don't know the name of the glue the shop uses but can ask if you want). Glue cloth on and tuck it under neatly.

to get the cloth door panel peice off the door, do you have to take apart the whole door? or can you just pop out that one part of the door?

it would be wise to do that because you want to get the fabric on and then off cleanly. the top section because of the metal part can phuck things up

Aight just to make sure, you are saying that the piece of fuzzy fabric around the handle on the door panel is a separate piece from the panel itself, and the fabric is applied over a vinyl piece which is on top of foam that I do not want to remove.

If I were to take off the first layer (the fuzzy fabric), could I apply the new material on top of the vinyl that it was covering?

That piece that is fabric can be removed from the door panel to be stripped right? or do I have to take off the fabric on the door panel because that piece doesn't come off. Sorry for all of the questions, but I want to make sure that I understand everything before attempting this as I don't want to screw this up...Thanks for the help :D
