Step 1. Remove the screws holding the door panel to the door. Some are hard to see, so check the photo closely.
Step 2. Remove this screw.
Step 3. Remove this screw.
Step 4. Remove the screw at the window switch panel, lift the switch panel out, and unplug its connectors, including the small door light.
Step 5. Use needle-nose pliers or a panel clip tool to remove the plastic fastener near the bottom front edge of the door, close to the speaker cover.
Step 6. Pull up firmly on the door handle while popping the panel clips outward. Push up and out with both hands so nothing catches.
Step 7. The panel unhooks from the window ledge as it lifts.
Step 8. The door panel is off.
Step 9. On the back of the door panel, peel back the foam insulation. Use a razor knife so the foam doesn't tear.
Step 10. The upholstered upper panel is held to the door panel by screws along its edge.
Step 11. Remove those screws. They thread into plastic, so they can be repositioned or added when you reinstall.
Step 12. The factory upholstery is held with staples and glue. Loosen and remove the staples with a small screwdriver and pliers.
Step 13. Carefully peel the factory upholstery back. Leave the foam backing in place if you plan to reuse it (recommended).
Step 14. Take photos of how the factory material wraps the corners before you remove it.
Step 15. Peel the old material off, starting at one edge and working across.
Step 16. Line the new cover up on the panel, leaving enough material to wrap the edges, and align any stitching.
Step 17. Fold the cover back and spray adhesive on one or both surfaces, following the adhesive's directions. Keep spray off the edges so the material can stretch over them.
Step 18. With the panel face-up, work across it with gentle hand pressure to bond the material.
Step 19. Spray the cover's edge and the back of the panel where the material will wrap.
Step 20. Pull the material tight and form it over the corners, making small relief cuts where needed to prevent wrinkles. If the glue dries too much, re-spray and let it tack.
Step 21. Re-staple the edges, reinstall the panel on the door, and repeat on the other side.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
