the side panel cloth part of my civic dx is falling off , i was wondering if anyone has had experience with repairing or switing that out? carbon fiber??? haha just a maybe

thanks in advance

 

omg, i'm shocked, lol
nah man this is very common, it happened to pretty well everyone i know with a 7th gen civic.
It happened to me, i picked up a can of Elmers Spray Adhesive, i took myu time give it a light coat and slowly rolled it back on and with a credit card i pushed the fabric back into its seams in the door.

its been well over a year and it hasnt wrinkled or moved.
its a easy and cheap fix.

 

My door panel cloth is still attached without sagging anywhere.

 

i took mines off and wraped it in suede not bad for 7bucks!

 

I had mine rewrapped in suede as well, unfortunately it wasn't $7 though.

 

Would a hot glue gun work?

 

wow do u have any pics of the suede wrap and where did u get it done for 7 bucks?

 

i got the fabric from joanns fabric store for 7bucks and i did it my self heres a pic i will post more soon and i believe harlowe did his in red

sorry pics kinda big from cellphone


and heres harlowes

 

Definitely not.

 

nice work. if u dont mind can u give me a quick walk through on how u did that? my car has the rolly down manual windows so it may be a little different.

 

One door panel on my 2004 is on its third panel, thank fully Honda Canada Inc has paid for this. Wurth brand upholstery adhesive seems to work good (aerosol can).

 

Yeah, I did mine in red. About to redo it soon, the first door didn't come out so great. Doing something a little more 'wild' .

 

mainly just remove your window handle it should pop off i believe..then just peel your old fabric out and lay it on the new fabric and trace cut the pattern about an inch bigger then clean any left over adhesive left on the door panel with alcohol or something then buy some 3m fabric adhesive (make sure it isnt too strong because it will eat up the fabric) then spray both panels and the back of your new fabric then let it sit for a bit so it gets kind of tacky then lay it on your door panel and use any hard plastic card to tuck the edges and the fabric behind the door armrest and use a razer to cut any fabric material that is sticking out of the edges..oh yeah make sure u tape up the door panel as well so the adhesive doesnt stick on to the nice looking part of your panel..i know i dont make sence i use the word and alot

 

thanks

 

i took my cloth off and spray painted mine black looks good but no one notices it

 

DynastyRacer22,
Yep , that's how it's done. A couple of layers tape around the edges of the fabric panel will also help protect against damage while you are cutting.
