Rob Dublin Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Didn't want to hijack another thread so started this... how much is Alcantara by the sq. yard? Thinking of making a go of recovering the dash. Maybe glovebox and door cards if I don't suck at it! Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson Trimming Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Would you not remove the vinyl covering??? (can you tell I haven't done it before yet?!) No.. Door panels need light rubbing..scratch the surface lightly and they need to be coated in a sealer first beause the plastic is crap to glue to..
