Adding tweed to doors

[slim j 10+ year member]

I asked a local upholstry shop about adding tweed to my doors. He said it never works right as the tweed will not stay adhered to the plastic. Is this true? Has anyone tried and what were the results?

Find a new shop.

They obviously do not know what they are doing.

I did the entire interior in my ricer mustang in tweed.

I owned the car for a year with the tweed interior... no problems. And I just spoke to the new owner, and he's happy with it.

I refuse to pay a shop to do something I can do with a little time and patience. I wrapped the entire interior in tweed (mainly because I could steam-clean it once a month and be done with it!) in about two weeks of working whenever I wanted. It's just lots of stretching and working from the inside out.

Also be aware, that I did that on a budget, you'll also notice the fiberglass peices painted and tossed in there (also my creations).

Also, for those of you worried about it peeling... it sat outside all day in 90+ degree weather for two summers and I never had a problem with it.

And worst case scenario... have them staple it!

Don't hate on burlap until you have it. MUCH easier to work with than anything else, and it comes in whatever color your little heart desires.
