So I decided this weekend that in keeping with my planned black & grey interior theme for my car, I was going to cover my door panel inserts in black perforated leather, to match the seats.
I’ve had the leather, and the new door panels (sans window crank holes) for a couple of weeks, but was stalled in figuring out how to cover the inserts.
end result, it either can’t be done, or I simply can’t do it (I lean towards the latter) and I’m out $100 for the project, and now have a completely ruined passenger side rear door panel, so I have only 3 doors in the car right now that no longer have window crank holes.
Oh well… this whole failure thing seems to be a new trend for me.

Is it possible for you to visit one of the shops in Oxnard that does this sort of thing professionally to ask them how to do this?
