Thanks. I wondered about the white dots. I used 3M's Hi-strength 90 adhesive. This video sold me on it, even if it is $23/can or more.

3M

I used that adhesive to do my doors, followed the instructions to a "T", but now half a year later the fabric is sagging I'm gonna redo them at some point just gotta find a wicked good glue.

mine looked awesome from the start, but yeah after a month or two it just started to loose its integrity

This is my doors a month after I did them, you can see the passenger door starting to ripple a little oh and dont mine those Pedals lol I took them off and notice theres no white spots on the door panel

How did you go about putting the insert back on over the snaps. Right now the only thing holding my insert on is the pressure between the door panel and frame.

8 x 3/4" screws and some washers so the screws wouldn't go through the panel. If you clean it up, the snaps have a tube that fits that size screw perfectly.

once I re-do mine I'm probably going to put the panel back in with construction adhesive, the scews are a little iffy, too much push on the panel and they're pop out lol.

if I had known this woul dall start happening I would have left it, but that cloth **** was really annoying me.
