Interior & Trunk / Re: Applying quarter trim upholstery on convertible

A bunch of spring clamps like these.  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Anvil-2-in-Spring-Clamp-99691/302755764


I wrap it all around.  Fold over the edges.  Put all the clamps in place.  Go around and make the slits as needed in the corners. 
Then undo a couple of clamps at a time and glue that area.  Do small sections as you move around.  As stated, glue only goes on the backside.  Leave the clamps in place until the glue is good and dry.

I had this happen years ago. Hard to get the deluxe door panel off on a 1969 with the door closed due to the dash blocking access to the front of the panel. I unscrewed the lock knob a lot so I had more travel on the knob and then I moved the knob up and down repeatedly until the door actually unlocked. I found the problem was a little spring on the lock mechanism had broken causing it to jam up.

I am about to recover the quarter trim panels for my 1964.5 convertible.  Has anyone done this and have tips.  Conceptually seems easy but am afraid the reality will be tricky.

I added "deluxe interior" trim to the quarter my 66 daily driver Hardtop which I assume is similar. The first thing that went on was a 1/2 inch of foam, then the "hide of the South American Nauga". I should have started at the front an worked back to the seat. That's about the best I can say. I "covered" my mistakes (about 1/8 inch too short) by pulling the Naugahyde very taught and the use of excessive amounts of weatherstrip adhesive.

I've never heard of "that", so I looked it up on duckduckgo dot com - nothing that related to undercoating (my initial thoughts) but the car is 57 years old and products "disappear" over time.

Remove the driver's seat; remove the door panel; look. That's what I've done. It's a pain in the posterior but there is no other way.
