1. To remove your door panel start by removing the two metal screws one is in the cup and the other is right under the door handle.
2. There is also one plastic screw on the front doors near the hinge. Then tug on the bottom of the door to free the clips that hold the bottom on.
3. Then unplug the switches, and remove them from the door.
4. There is a small metal prong that you will see from the bottom, push it in and the switch box poops out. The rear doors have two plastic prongs.
5. Tape off around the fabric area... about 3-4 inches since you'll be spraying the adhesive.
6. Spray your adhesive (3M Super 90 Recomended) on both the door's fabric and the new leather you're laying down and spread it out over the surface trying your best to make sure there are no bubbles or creases. Tuck the fabric into the crease using a putty knife or something flat.
7. When the fabric's all tucked, cut it w/a razor blade, making sure you cut in the tucked part, not too close to the edge where you can see.
Touch up anything like tucking or clean off the glue on the edges and then cut holes in the leather for the window switches and cup, and then stick them back in.
Put the door panel back on the door the same way you took it off and repeat these steps for the 3 other doors.
ENJOY YOUR NEW LEATHER BOOTS!
Useful tip
You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
