INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remover door panel. Remove the screw holding the inside door handle
trim.
2. Remove the screws holding the door trim panel.
3. Insert
a trim panel remover between the trim fasteners and the door trim panel to pry off.
Disconnect the wire connectors from the front door.
4. Remove the screws from the back of the panel that attach
the armrest and remove the armrest from the panel.
5. Mask off the face of the armrest to prevent glue over-spray.
6. Spray a generous amount of glue on the underneath of the
armrest.
7. Spray a lighter amount of glue on the back of the new fabric
concentrating on the edges.
8. Let stand for 10 minutes to tack up
9. Spray a light coat over all the areas again
10. Center armrest on fabric facedown and attach.
11. Trim of excess and reinstall
NOTE: Be sure to work the fabric from the
center to the corners. Working towards the corners will help prevent wrinkles. Stretch the fabric tight but do
not over stretch.
Also, this is a perfect time to install new 6 ½" front speakers.
