Tom Carter Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 so i purchased new carpets for the bottom of my door panels. I bought them from OPGI. I want to replace them however I have no idea how to do so. It appears that they are glued on the cardboard and in some spots stapled. I was wondering if anyone has replaced them out before and what is the easiest and most effective way to do it without damaging the cardboard. Also, I planned on using 3M adhesive to reattach them. Of course I appreciate you expertise and experience of the club. Thanks in advance for the help Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I didn't know they could be changed, I'll have to watch this. Quote
Tom Carter Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 I bought the lower panel carpet and the floor carpet from opgi. they both look great. If we make it the GM nationals (provided they don't cancel...fingers crossed) I can't wait to show you the difference. My interior is going to be so different. 1 Quote
dejh22 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I have replaced the door carpet with fabric. But have never replace with new carpet. First you need to remove the chrome divider. I did this by using a screwdriver to lift up the pointed prongs on the back side. After that is done you can pull that chrome pc straight up and out. I just pulled and lifted the old carpet off. The door pocket is sewn in place. I used fabric and did not have to sew the pocket back in place. I used a 3m spray glue to attach the fabric to the panel. I'm no expert so I don't know how much help this will be. I have a few pics. The first pics are of an old door panel with the chrome divider removed. The last few pics are of my son's 72 door panels with the new fabric I attached. This was my first attempt at doing this. 1 Quote
Tom Carter Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 That helps a lot. I was looking for a panel that wasn't in a good condition to disassemble however it looks like I tossed out my supply of tired interior parts. My wife calls me a hoarder as it is. I appreciate the pictures. I will update with my own when this process starts. 1 Quote
Nancy Hanson Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Do the replacements have the pocket in them? Our are they just a pc of carpet? Can you post a picture? Quote
dejh22 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Tom Carter is doing the carpet replacement he is the original poster (top of the page) Quote
Nancy Hanson Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Dale what are you saying. I asked Tom if the carpet replacement PCs have the map pockets. Quote
dejh22 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 I'm sorry I thought the question was directed to me. Quote
Tom Carter Posted April 12, 2020 Author Posted April 12, 2020 No pockets. If you are creative you can probably use the original pocket. I don't have the equipment Quote
