How To Pattern and Re-Wrap Door Panel Inserts In Vinyl - LeatherSeats.com

Our leather-trimmed seat upholstery kits are all built to order and come pre-sewn and ready to install. They are designed to be installed by customizers or a professional upholstery shop in your area. With many of our upholstery kits, we offer extra matching vinyl material for the door panels/inserts. Installing this material can be difficult so we made this Tech Guide video to show you how we pattern and install door panel inserts on a 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander. Most of the steps that you see in this video are universal concepts that can be used for other vehicles as well. Be sure to check out the leather upholstery package for this Highlander here on our website: https://leatherseats.com/shop/special... Installing this Highlander kit is an advanced project that will require basic hand tools, hog rings, hog ring pliers, upholstery spray glue, a pneumatic upholstery stapler, and optionally an upholstery or clothing steamer for optimal fitment. In this specific door panel application, you will also want to have some rivets on hand to re-attach the window seal after the installation. ► Seat Upholstery Installation Overview    • How To Install Leather Seat Upholstery In ...   ► Seat Heater Installation Overview    • How to Install Carbon Fiber Seat Heaters I...   ► Liquicell Gel Pads Installation Overview    • How to Improve Your Seat Comfort With Liqu...   ► Using Steamer For Optimal Fitment    • How To Remove Wrinkles & Improve Fit in a ...   ► Installing Headrest Cover w/Shop Vacuum    • How To Install Headrest Cover w/Shop Vacuu...   RELATED PRODUCTS --------------------------------------------------- ► 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander Upholstery Kit in Ash and Dark Graphite wDove Grey Stitching: https://leatherseats.com/shop/special... ► Installation Tools: https://leatherseats.com/shop/install...
