1990 Honda Accord - Glue Side Door Upholstery
One of my inside door panel's cloth upholstery has begun to fall off. What
kind of glue should I purchase (or does it have to be applied with a heat gun)to make the repair myself? Should I just take it an upholstery shop? Would like the repair to look nice, the car is in very good condition otherwise. TIA, Ray |

Choke! An HTML posting! Hoch-tooey! Spit! Contact cement should do just fine. However, if your door panels are anything like mine, you'll have trouble getting the edges to stick properly. An upholststery shop would probably be the best, but would also be most expensive. You may want to try getting an entire door panel from a wrecking yard. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I tried: 3M 90 3m 77 3m 76 Super Trim Adhesive weldwood contact cement And others I can't remember I'm told the panels are made from a Low E type of plastic. Don't actually know what that means other than adhesives do not want to stick to it. I live in a very hot climate, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. After several years of messing with it, I discarded the panels and bought a textured spray paint that is meant to adhere to plastics and painted the area where the cloth panels used to be. It turned out great. I did this two years ago, still looks great. Can't remember the brand, but got it at Lowes, and it matched the grey interior panel perfectly with just the right contrast. If you find something that actually works, post here, I would be interested even though I'm satisfied with my solution and won't revisit the cloth panels. Frank |
