The Clio cost $600.
My bro's Megane 2 was $1200. (door cards were done at $50 each)
My 5 Series would be costing $1500.

Size of vehicle roof I guess.

At any given time you'll find an array of vehicles there; brand new, old school, euros, etc, so you'll be able to have a look at the workmanship

Not yet-

The fabric was separating all from the top and in a uniform manner-so I figured DIY was an option-I really got a quote to see what the downside was if I screwed it up.

I used the spray on Bostik fast tak-blue tin.
Taped the door up
Scraped off the original sponge and glue-a butter knife worked pretty good,sprayed on the fast tak and re placed the fabric.......
Used the same butter knife to push the edge of the fabric into the space in the door

3 out of 4 doors are almost like new-only one crease on each-small and low down.

Unfortunately the drivers side door is a little messed up -rain and friggin breeze appeared after I sprayed the glue so ........its creased more than it should be.

The glue is holding-its been a month and no deterioration.

I would say dry run in the back with some rolled masking tape on the inside of the fabric so you get the moves done right.

It took about 20 minutes on the first door down to really fast on the Driver side door lol

If you want to take a look at the doors we could link up.

Waited a while to see how lining held out. It was a good job. Except for some ruffled ends it was a good job. Paid $1500

this guy took two weeks. the only problem was he showed me two material options. one with sponge base and the other with felt base, with the felt base being superior quality. i opted for the felt base but he accidentally used the sponge based material. i still accepted it
