camry door inserts re-upholster - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I want to re-upholster the door inserts with leather, can it be removed? If yes, how do I do it?

From the inside of the door panel, there doesn't seem to be anything that can be unscrewed to take this off.

Please help! Thanks!

Just found some info, this can't be taken off, am I right? The only way is to apply the leather over the factory cloth.

Your talking about the little setion of carpet? Well I took it right off but its' super hard to get it back on. Theres this spray it comes in a can and it has a werid name. It's just like glue but for fabrics. Hope you find a soultion.

the mian part cant be taken off but the iner part can.if you whant to change the main part you have to remove everything and get the fab. you want spray whith glue mold the fab. to it and let dry.
the iner part you can pull off and ceep the padding redo with fab. and glue.

i know how take out the door panel, so ur saying to try and pry off the cloth part and then reattach it w/ glue.

what do you mean by inner part & main part?

I'm confused now. I thought the whole fabric part can't be taken out, so I was going to glue the the new material over the old fabric.

so that there's no confusion, what I meant by door panel insert is the beige color part on the door in the picture below

the beige is what i mean by the inner part.the main door panel is the black part.to remove all you do is take the whole door panel off and you see the tabs that are folded over,just pull them back
and push on them dont force but ferm the insert should come out.

are the tabs on the inside of the door?

warlock · 06-25-2003, 11:58 PM

yes you have to take the doop panel all the way off to get to them.all the car i have seen are like that and my gen3 is like that.
i redid the whole door panel.

Hmm..I forgot to mention that my camry is gen4.

I've taken off the main door panel before to install speaker, but there doesn't seem to be any tab that can be taken off to take of the insert. I'll check it again very soon, I'll try taking picture to show you what I have.
