Door panel upholstering

[@jessicah3450]

Finally the video I was looking for! Given how quickly this material breaks down in the summer heat, I'm surprised it took me hours to find a how to on this 😂 Thanks!

[@pauliascau]

You're welcome :)

[@JesusEffingChrist]

Paul Iascau's studio what type of fabric did you use? I’m have a hell of a time with this faux leather

My 04 Passat 1.8T 5-Speed GLS has tucking issues as well on the driverside upholstery. Thanks for the upload.

[@pauliascau]

Thnks for watching! :D

[@SleepyCrane-xx5cw]

03 Passat with same issue

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

@SleepyCrane-xx5cw I'll be replacing them out soon. Had a worse issue arise. I didn't seal the hole that runs the hood release cable while running my 0 gauge wire to the back of the ride to run an optima rear battery with battery isolator as well as other accessories and volt meters for last years car show. And because I installed waterproof leather inserts that covered up the floor I didn't realize all the water coming in through that hole.. 😬 yeah. New comfort control module installed and I am working on replacing the door lock actuator and checking all the relays. Not fun. Due to be replaced anyways but still. Was my bad.

I have been looking for this for a long time! I am planning to diy my door panel with a heavy furniture fabric. I hope it works

[@jzillalaw5597]

Really good job!!!one of best diy vids for this. Thank you

[@jaredjohnston4726]

This looks amazing. If you broke the tabs off to add the upholstery, how did you get the panel back on? Was there enough plastic to poke through the panel and melt back into place?

[@pauliascau]

I didnt' broke the tabs, I melt the excss off from the outside in and I was left with big tabs, so I had enough material to melt

[@talim67]

Is it a specific kind of fabric that goes on there or can you just use any fabric

[@jamesclark7248]

Great video! Thank you! Is there any technique for reattaching interior vinyl to the door panel without removing the vinyl piece? Would injecting a small amount of adhesive through the vinyl, then applying pressure, be a workable option?

[@zvonimirkljajic4473]

I'm doing this on B5.5 Passat and glue is absolute PITA to remove. I've tried nitro thinner, I've triex Sonax glue remover, in the end i have to use a knife and scratch off everything...

[@sanjayramoutar5012]

Wow, excellent job, I need to get this done on my MK5 Jetta!

Great video....Did I miss it or did you not show the most important part which is how to anchor it to the door again..... Thank you for showing video is helpful

[@pauliascau]

I kept the small plastic tabs and then melt them on the panel to fix it to the bigger panel

[@pauliascau]

The panel was fixed to the door with the plastic clamps or tabs and bolts

[@tsealin]

Hi. How did you clean the sticky glue?

[@KIYOOU]

Very nicely executed! Good job!

[@pauliascau]

Thank you!

[@robhalfhide]

How did you secure the upholstered bit back to the door card?

[@pauliascau]

I used a soldering iron to melt the plastic bits from the back

[@whiteshadow8298]

what did you use to glue the upholstery panel back on the door panel?

[@arontiberiu5238]

Am încercat și eu ,pentru prima data ,dar a ieșit vit de cit ,..dar se mai vad pe alocuri urme de degete ..???

[@seansmith720]

did you just hot glue stick the panel back into the door panel...thanks

[@pauliascau]

sorry for the delay, the panel has pastic tabs on the back, I melt them after I put the panel back in the bigger panel

[@schopelas69]

This came out amazing. I am going to try it myself. What did you use for the carbon fiber look on the door handles and the center panel?

[@pauliascau]

Thank you! A cousin who has a car vinyl wrapping company used carbon fiber vinyl to wrap them in vinyl

[@wrongsaidfred330]

Damn you couldn't speed it up a little, I almost saw something that I could use!!!

[@3bbad]

looks easy but it's pain in the ace. Can't get it right🤣

[@shakernr1]

Hi! I just found your video, 3 years later as you made it! :-) What is that blue handheld tool what you are using to remove the inside part of the door panel? Regards

[@pauliascau]

My glove it's blue, I used a wood chisel

Wie hat er den Kunststoff so sauber vom Kleber befreit?!?! Kann mir einer sagen wie ich den Kleber ab bekomme? Hab schon 24 verschiedene Chemikalien versucht, Folienradierer, Schleifer, Drahtaufsätze.....

[@pauliascau]

Ich habe Nitroverdünner verwendet

[@Hitman0711.GPRecords]

@@pauliascau danke für die Antwort. Das hatte ich auch versucht aber das verschmierte irgendwie nur. Letztendlich hab ich alles mit nem Spachtel mühevoll abgeschabt

[@attilatarjanyi5402]

Hi. The only thing i can not see on the video is taht any foam under the fabric? I'm planning to do it on my car but all the fabrics i was looking comes with foam on it and i don't know if the door panel needs any or is it just simply the fabric glued on without any foam under it? Thanks if you take the time to answer this question for me.

[@pauliascau]

Hi! Sorry I couldn't answer sooner, I glued the material directly without foam. The car comes from the factory with foam.

[@oliverjohn5735]

did you use back staples or just glue

[@pauliascau]

just glue

[@RIPSAW21]

Welcher Stoff ist das genau? Bei mir im alcantara sind falten drin wo ich nicht rausbekommen mit 3mm stoff

[@pauliascau]

Es ist eine Art Samt, ich habe es vom Markt gekauft

[@Tahimate]

How did you attach the insert back to the door panel since you broke off the tabs?

[@pauliascau]

I left enough of the tabs so I can melt them in place

[@zacharyreyes4071]

How did you get the old glue adhesive off

[@pauliascau]

With paint thinner and a spatula

[@wizbang16]

Can I use any material? Did you just glue the door card back in to the door panel?

[@pauliascau]

You should use quality materials. the door card has some plastic clips that I melted on the back of the door pannel with the soldering iron.

[@wizbang16]

Awesome. Thank you!

What kind/brand of material did you reupholster with?

[@pauliascau]

I went to the maeket and bought some generic faric for automotive upholstery ... I think it's made here in Romania

[@jessicah3450]

You can use headliner material, it's foam backed fabric. Found it sold by the yard on Amazon.

[@saucealex3744]

what materials and products did you use to remove the factory glue?

[@pauliascau]

Sauce Alex I did not have to remove the factory glue brcause the original material had come off the panel alone... But Tessa has a special spray to remove the glue

[@hernandezmay3117]

I've been trying to do my doors and I have a mk4 gti and the fabric I got kept bunching up so I need to get different fabric any recommendations and how to keek it from bunching up around the curves?

[@pauliascau]

You have to try to stretch as much as you can... I had some wrinkles in the fabric, but I tried again and it works

[@pauliascau]

And also try to glue it little by little so that way you have more control

[@gheorgheedwardt9794]

Buna treaba...urmeaza aceeasi operatiune si la a mea,sper sa-mi iasa la fel :) Bravo,felicitari !

How did you remove the old glue between the panel and the fabric?

[@pauliascau]

I used paint thinner, spatula and a rag

[@DavidLagendijk]

Thank you for your reaction. However, your panel looks like to be made of a different material than mine. Mine is a wood/paper like structure and yours look like there a kind of ABS plastic.

@@SFlores1979 I haven't yet. The material I picked out is too thick and I'll have to get thinner material that stretches so it will go on smooth. I plan to use "3M Headliner and Fabric Adhesive" from Amazon.

Oh, I'm not separating the pieces. I'm doing it with the door in place.

how did you reattach the side panel to the door?

I melt the excss from the plastic tabs from the outside in and I was left with big tabs, so after I finished I put the upholster panel back and I used the soldering iron to melt the tabs to reattach it. And to reattach the panel to the door I tink it has some plastic pins and some clamps
