Here I want to share a easy step-by-step guide on how to fix Ford Mustang door panel leather sagging.

 

 

here were the panels before i started…

I went to Wal-Mart and bought a few supplies that i thought i would need.

The supplies are as follows:
1 can of Contact Cement $5
1 wrag or tarry cloth
1 flathead screwdriver
1 pack of 3 Poly Brushes (from crafts section) $3
1 roll of masking tape $3

 

Ford Mustang Door Panel Leather Sagging Solution Procedures:

STEP 1:
Go ahead and finish separating the leather from the door the rest of the way until you get down to the armrest.

STEP 2:
You will immediately notice the padding that rests behind the leather. Once upon a time, this leather was glued to the back of the leather, but it has since deteriorated from heat and expansion/contraction of the leather and eventually comes apart from the leather backing…You can take a finger and rub the padding and it will just roll under your fingertip and come right off like crumbs…The next step is to use your hand with some slight pressure and finish rolling off all of the desintigrated padding that is on the panel…Once you are done, there should be nothing but a carpet type of material left…

STEP 3:
Apply the Contact Cement religiously to both the leather backing and the door panel area and let dry for 15 min. Apply one more light layer of Contact Cement to both areas and let dry for 15 min. I suggest 2 layers because the material will absorb some of the cement. I went ahead and taped off the door panel to protect it from the cement prior to application.

STEP 4:
Once youve allowed plenty of time for the cement to dry, use a small towel or wrag in hand to start pressing the leather back onto the door panel beginning at the bottom in the middle and gradually working your way towards the top as well as to the sides. The edge of the leather is easy to put back in its original position because it retains its shape (curved edge) even after its removed from the panel. When pressing the leather back on, the leather edge just falls back into place.

Once all of this is completed, you have yourself a repaired door panel!

 

You just repeat the process for the other door and then your done!

 

All in all it took about 2 hours to complete but thats with taking my sweet’ole time and taking breaks from this Florida heat like every 15 minutes…Im very happy with how it came out and i hope this helps you guys…
