Door Panel Instructions

All Door Panels ship with the material covering one side of the door panel without cut outs. The back side of the door panel board has perforated opening locations or actual cut outs for such things as door handles, window cranks, electric windows, pull straps, speaker covers, attachment points, etc.

Some Door Panels have chalk marks on the material face as a guide where cuts are made for arm rests, door handles, etc. Once the material is cut, all of the chalk marks can be removed with alcohol or soap and water.

NOTE: If you have a question about what openings to cut or not cut, please refer to your original Door Panel as a ready reference. If the original Door Panels aren’t available please contact the company you purchased the product from for technical support.

It is the responsibility of the consumer to remove whatever perforated openings that are pertinent to your vehicle. It is recommended to carefully use a single edge razor blade to remove perforated openings.

Once the openings required are removed then the material needs to be cut to accommodate the part that needs to go into the opening.

This is done by using a razor blade or razor knife and cutting an “X” cut through the material in the center of the opening. Please be careful not to cut the “X” all the way to the edge of the opening in the board. It is suggested to leave ¼” of material inside the opening so it looks clean when the material is folded back.

After the “X” cut is made then you can fold back the material so you can install door handles, pull straps, arm rests, etc.

If you want to, you can tape or glue the flaps of material to the backside of the board but, it isn’t necessary as once the hardware and door panel are installed, you’ll never see the loose material.
