@@SamsProjectBench I'm going to try doing this in my BMW E87 then if it's successful I'll do my challenger! Would love to learn how to do some stitching as well 🤔

Yes sewing is a great skill to learn getting the right sewing machine can be a little challenging but it’s worth doing there is only so much interior work you can do without sewing but get in and give it a go it’s very satisfying to see the results of your own work

I get my gear from Daley’s upholstery supplies www.daleys.com.au/ They sell direct to public but only open week days

Haha I’m sure it will be fine to try 👍

I have tried a couple of the cans of glue it’s just my preference to use the spray gun. You could fill in the defects but this was just a demonstration panel never to be used on the car so no need to spend the time on it.

10mm foam can push things outward. You will need to test to your fittings will be able to compress the foam enough to still work. If this doesn’t work you can cut small sections of foam out. You can also get thinner foam it typically comes in 3mm size increments. 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm and so on

The old cover had welded embossed lines. These are put in with a high frequency welder these are specialty equipment used to weld PVC based materials and are not common in the diy environment. I haven’t done any tutorials on this specifically my preferred method is to sew lines into the material with the foam already glued to the materials embossing is not always practical due to the amount of work and time required but if a certain look is required it can be done otherwise it usually gets sewn or a back taking method is used I have some door trims to do on my Nissan patrol coming up I should be able go into further depth in video once into the process

You could possibly lay a Diamond stencil underneath and lay the fabric over top for an embossed look. Depending on what type of head line you could possibly look at diamond tufting/ deep diamond buttoning. I did a Kenworth truck sleeper cab using this method years back but it’s not for the faint hearted. Stitching diamonds is probably your best bet this is usually my preferred method

It always holds better if you can pull the materials around and staple them on the back there are some circumstances where you can get away without stapling behind but it is typically my preference to staple them on the back 👍

@@SamsProjectBench Understood. Thanks for replying 👍

@@ahmadakmalbinabdmanan6382 you’re more than welcome 🙏

Thank you for the tip I’ll look it up

This was from the rear barn door of my Nissan patrol the door open mechanism is on the side and the window doesn’t open but this technique still works well on doors that do have these,. You will need to allow for these cut outs and position the joins accordingly 👍

I use 6mm staples

Usually on the door I will use 6mm staples but on the back taking strips I will often use 10mm staples as the shorter staples like to pull out on these 👍

@@SamsProjectBench awesome thank you excellent video and a huge help for my next project

Your welcome thank you for watching 👍

Quya Dennis I used a marine blue vinyl that’s can be sauced from Nolan’s here in Australia I also used black automotive vinyl and glue that can be sauced from Daley Upholstery supplies and the foam is from “novatex international” hope this helps

The Bench ok thank you for the tip!!

It’s a spray-able contact adhesive I get through my local upholstery supplier here in Western Australia, they called Daley’s www.daleys.com.au I’ve used a similar product from “shann” www.theshanngroup.com/product/shannbond-adhesiveglue/ Hope this helps

@@SamsProjectBench thank you very much! 😊

I used 6mm staples on the back side any longer will poke through the cover but I often use 10mm on the back taking strips 👍 hope this helps

How about a list of all the tools and supplies?

Don,t need it.
