Default Door Panels

I have a set of EK4 Door Panels coming with my EK4 interior. I'm just wanting to know if its possible to swap out the fabric from the EK4 Door Panels to my OEM Door Panels, thus saving me time in finding the power windows bullshit. haha

Technically yes but it's a serious pain. The center panel is heat-staked to the main panel. You have to grind off the melted-plastic rivets to get the panels out, but then there's nothing to hold them on again so you'll have to improvise with some liquid nails or silicone glue, or whatever. Maybe some screws would work...

When i redid my panels i just heated up the rivets with a soldering iron and cut little pieces of plastic from a xbox game case and melted them back on.

Good Idea all I have left to do is have my door panels done, the shop that is doing it wasnt sure exactly how they were going to do it. I suggested to go and buy a toy or something plastic from walmart and just remelt it on there.

Find a shop the recovers seats and stuff to do it for u... shouldn't cost too much to have it done. Also that way if they get messed up they are liable to fix/replace the panels.

I did recover mine. I heated the rivets and taped the plastic stems and put screws in them so I can take them off again if i need to. It is easy.
