Where did you get the metal piece that clips on the top of the door
@kdevittАй бұрын
The factory extended leather door cards have the seam running high up on the card and behind the centre cloth section, rather than at the bottom. This line then ties into a seam that runs along the bottom half of the dash board too. Not all the E36 doorcards have a centre panel which detaches either unfortunately - some (like mine) are one piece. Trying to track down a set myself so I can do the MRain cloth to match the rest of my interior.

Very nicely and well explained! I was thinking though, what if you would cut out the holes for the pockets before you add the vinyl? Maybe then you can make it out of 1 piece? But I like your solutions aswell, it looks professional!
@thedetailformula70467 ай бұрын
Thanks mate! I think cutting the holes might work but would be pretty tough to know how big they should be and where to put them. Pretty easy to make mistakes I think. Don’t know till you try it I guess!

On some vinyls you can peel off the cloth backing (with enough determination) which helps MASSIVELY with stretch. Maybe it would be possible to do the vinyl in a single piece like that. It´s been a while since I´ve had my door cards apart but iirc that´s how the oem vinyl is, no backing. The only downside I´ve found is the vinyl will tear when you go beyond max stretch without enough heat but it´s pretty easy to get used to.
@thedetailformula70467 ай бұрын
Yeah thats a good point actually. When I removed to old vinyl there was no cloth backing. Thinking back, the cloth backing on the vinyl I used didn't seem like it would come off easily
@tonistaru7 ай бұрын
@@thedetailformula7046 Yeah there´s different backings, I don´t think any are designed to peel off put some do. The backing is also what determines the stretch direction. Most are more stretchy in one direction than other. Your two piece design worked out good too👌

Just a quick suggestion; while you have the carpet out, you might want to pressurize the cooling system to make sure there are no leaks or evidence of past issues from the HVAC box. As you have pointed out there has been quite a bit of sub-par work done on the car and quite possibly there may be a few ticking timebombs left to be found. Ask me how I know… PS don’t forget the cabin filter. Cheers

@thedetailformula7046 Жыл бұрын
Hey mate, thank you for tuning in! What engine you planning on swapping in? I'd get all the rust sorted then just have a good look at each panel to see if it's worth repainting any of them. I had my front and rear bumpers repainted as they were in pretty rough shape. Lucky I have a friend who is a professional painter and looked after me but I'd expect to pay about $500 per bumper depending on the shop. I've found that BMW paint is actually quite good to learn how to do paint corrections. It's very hard so you're unlikely to blow through the clear coat easily. Takes the stress out of it! Totally worth doing it, car looks amazing now.

Hey mate, any all purpose cleaner will work instead of the Green Star. It's what I use as I have it in the garage for many other uses such as decon washes, engine bays and any other surface that needs a deep clean. For the trim itself, I can't recommend the GTechniq C4 high enough. As far as ceramic coatings go, it's not crazy expensive and in my opinion, it's the best product out there to bring back faded trim. You won't regret spending the $35ish dollars.
