Door panel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jackyl9999 · 06-12-2009, 01:36 PM

I recently purchased some new skins for my door panels. What do I need to use to attach them? Maybe some sort of adhesive if so what kind will work?

Looking for any tips on this I can get!

Thanks,
Steve

Home Depot has some spray on adheisive, I think its 3M. it worked good on mine.

jackyl, are you saying that you bought the door panel upholstery w/o the metal door panel? Where did you get it? thanks

No offense to 3M products but there are better spray adhesives for this. The one we use is called Stinger. Work 1000% better than any 3M product. You can get it a most large Auto Stereo shops and some large electronic retailers. Its in a black can with B/W checker board around the top. Its what most car stereo shops use.

I ordered them from a guy that specializes in 67-72 trucks in missouri. I have no idea where he gets them.

Yep, Classic Parts of America which used to be Chevy Duty offers the skins only. $80-$90 a pr.

Are you talking about door skins?? The steel door skins on the outside?
Their is no interior door skin.

They are a inside door panel skin. Got one of them put on today looks great.

I don't feel like swimming through their website to find the link, but Classic Parts does sell vinyl skins that can be put over the metal panels, or you can buy the normal pre-assembled panels. They have them for 67-71 in a decent selection of colors.

I was refering to the upholstery that goes on the door panel
