Coverlay® 12-59-DBR - Front Driver and Passenger Side Door Panel Inserts

If you have an 05-09 Mustang with door panel fabric falling off look no further, this is a permanent fix for a great price. I watched no less than 30 YouTube videos on peoples idea's on how to repair these panels and I didn't see anything that impressed me until I found these. I did watch a couple guys install these and said the fit was ok and some said the glue wouldn't stick. Here is the key to these fitting perfect and sticking very well. You have to remove the loose vinyl but also the backing material that is stuck very well to the actual door panel. It's is a bit of work and I found a heat gun helped get this off but once that was removed an I was down the the plastic of the door panel these things almost snap in place. It will take some time and I can't stress enough to take the time and clean any of the old glue or fabric off. I used a razor blade and sand paper. The only way to get the perfect results I got is to remove the door panel and once you apply the glue and panel put weights on it to make sure it's laying flat everywhere and let dry for 24 hours. You will not be disappointed and the glue held very well. I will say you will need another tube of glue they really should give you two tubes with these. I purchased another tube before doing the second door and good thing I did cause I only got half glued before running out. I clean my panels pretty much spotless before putting these on and I still only had about 3 hours per panel. Good luck these are a great fix in my opinion.

I have a 2008 Mustang Convertible and like most owners of this model of car, I grew tired of re-gluing the vinyl door panel back into place. I researched different options of new overlays, glues and came across the Coverlay product. I'm not a "car guy" and I don't usually do my own repairs. I'll self-rate my mechanical prowess with automobiles as a medium to low level. I researched and followed various written and video guidance from Coverlay as well as other private auto shops. I followed the guidance with no deviation. Results. First, the Coverlay insert for my 2008 Mustang seemed to fit perfectly prior to adding glue. Once glue was added (according to Coverlay instructions) the door seemed to fit in one place, but then the opposite side/end would pop out of place. The Coverlay instructions of using tape to secure the panel into place while the glue hardened, was not close to adequate. So, I sat there waiting on the glue to cure and gain enough strength to retain its grip. There are a few places that I need to touch up, but otherwise the fit is seeemless. Second, Coverlay provided one bottle/tube of adhesive to insert both panels (1 x driver side, 1 x passenger side). This was not nearly an adequate amount of glue. I highly recommend acquiring or being provided a second bottle/tube of adhesive. Having too much glue leaves you plenty to use where needed; every project is different. Having too little glue has you scrounging around the garage searching frantically for a quick alternative. Recommendation. I do recommend this product as a pretty good substitute for the vinly panel insert. It's been less than 24 hours since I installed it so I'll reserve my rating for "Great" after a few months and changes in weather/temperature. For now, I highly recommend providing a second tube of adhesive. It's a good product and I'm thankful for finding it online.
