Just finished up this project and decided to video the entire process start to finish. I’ve never posted on here before but these forums have always been helpful for me and so I decided to give back by posting these.

Most owners of a V70/S70 are familiar with the bubbled door panels issue (I would guess) - this was my attempt to address it and upgrade the interior to a 2-tone look, which I think came out looking really good. I’m no pro, but pretty proud of this project.

Enjoy!!

To the OP if you are still on here, how have your choices of glue held up? Both for the fabric and for the door panel clip parts and skin? Also going to comment on your video.
