Has anyone installed leather insert in Firebird door panel?
Hi,
I am thinking of getting my seats recovered in a different color and would like to change the door insert with the same material. The door panel inserts are bonded to the plastic door panel. I cant see any way of changing the insert without making a mess. Has anyone done this or had a shop do it.

The original material is not possible to take off, my alu panel is just screwed on the original door panel which is made of masonite.
