I've got the dark Khaki and another color coming (Looks like 4P3 Desert Bronze - like my 100)
I'll decide when I see them.
Can you share what method you used to re-wrap the covers?
Is there a thread that is definitive or helpful?
Pics?
Did you get yours? What color do you like?
Here is how I do it.
STEP 1: I use some heat gun around on original, just a little, but I think it peels off easy without anything...
STEP 2: Landau Weldwood contact cement HHR. I buy it in gallons (it works for all upholstery stuff). I put it in glass jar and store together with chip brush. Use Tuolene if it gets thick.
Apply around edge on back side of a grill
At this point I just wait until it gets tacky but doesn't transfer to my finger. You can re-activate glue with heat gun. It works best when you apply to both sufrfaces, let it dry, and then activate with heat gun. In this case, you can't really apply to mesh, it will make a mess. So, I wait until it's tacky but not going to my finger.
STEP 3. Without much stretch, just very little, wrap and press. And keep going around.
STEP 4: Cut around with a blade, I buy those blades in packs, use them all the time for all kind of stuff. And keep working with your fingers.
Thats it. Mount on door panel, it will put some more pressure on it and it's not coming out.
