Great channel 👌 Great source of inspiration, and as no professional wants to touch the interior of my car without asking for one of my two kidneys, this is probably how i will end doing it. Thanks for sharing ! Always said my 328is will be my coffin, if i would sell it, i don’t know what i would buy instead, and probably buy another one…😂

I went to a prfessional shop first and they wouldn't even touch it! Couldn't believe it. Next shop was going to charge over $1000 per door card....

Salute mate, First things first awesome job!!! I’m kind of in the middle of reupholstering my door cards too and I’m curious how much m rain fabric do I need for door panels and seats front and back. Will appreciate your help Much thanks! My car is 328i coupe just in case :)

Hey mate, the door cards used about 1.5m I'd say. At a guess you'd need at least another 5m to do the seats

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.

@thedetailformula7046 Месяц назад

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

@tonistaru Месяц назад

@@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👌

You're welcome mate!

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!

@thedetailformula7046 Месяц назад

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!

Awesome Job!!! Hope when it gets warm in the car the glue you use does it s job

@thedetailformula7046 3 месяца назад

Yeah I agree!

@djpaskodjpasko9524 3 месяца назад

You can do the whole card from one piece I have done it but you need to carefully and patient

@thedetailformula7046 3 месяца назад

Yeah I’m sure you can but I struggled. After a couple of failed attempts I decided to go the 2 piece route and I’m really happy with it. It may have been the vinyl I used being not stretchy enough, not sure. Or just not talented enough! 😂
