Is there a guide available on how to remove all the tweed interior sections on a SWB? im having mine recovered with leather but need to get the parts out

first and have no clue.

 

or possibly can someone tell me how to get them out, (ALL THE TWEED SECTIONS)

 

thanks,.

hi mate - there is a guide somewhere on the aussie site, or TT net (or whatever its called) i have it saved at home, so if no-one posts by the time i get back home from work, i will dig it out and send you the link.

 

pretty straightforward though - work from the outside in and the centre console has to come off too.

They are pretty straight forward matey, fasteners and a few clips, if you get stuck, pop round mate.

Start with the door cards! Screws around the edges! Then remove the switches & door handle suround this will reveal more screws & bolts! Lift up & off!!

Then work from glove box around!! Open glove box & release the hangers & unscrew hinges then this will reveal the screws for the small preices either side of glove box! & so on just undo all the screws u can see to be honest! It's not bad once u get started 30mins all out I'm doing mine tomorrow so I'll take some photos

thanks Tony,

 

YTS: that will be helpful as i think i will have trouble with the panels between the seats and knees going up to the dash. just dont want to try pulling things off that may be 'screwed or clipped in'

 

Tony,(OSTY1) once mine is done i will show you, and send you the guys number if it turns out well at the price im paying its a STEAL.

Ok mate will do it's easy .. Lift arm rest undo hinges! Peel back felt inside to reveal screws! Take electric window switch out & gear leaver surround more screws also radio surround ... I'll take photos as I go.. I'm doing mine in red faux suede ;)

they are all pretty easy . the worst one regarding hidden screws/fixings is the small one which butts up to the passenger door . the glovebox has to be removed before this one can be taken off

Already done my ones myself matey. Cheers anyway, going to retrim my spare panels in the summer in beige/cream.

Is that the light or is the material scratched it looks all patchy?

No its a mottled patern mate, cant really see it properly in the photo.

Ah I see!! Good job you've done there !! I done my first zed in vinyl & it was a pita to get in around the corners !! I'm using suede stuff this time should be a doddle :-)

I intend on doing this soon aswell, been looking for what material i want. Ive got a red Zed and im contemplating red faux suede or red vinyl. Sounds like this thread will help me alot :D

Excellent, sorry to jump in on Coolq's thread, but a photo guide would be a handy thing for a lot of people I think ;)

I wondered how tricky it would be getting all the curves and corners right.

just done mine, it was a pain in the but doing a SWB, had to take off the poxy back shelf to get to the rear panels. but thanks for the help chaps., i only broke 4/5 clips :-)

 

ha.

Every time I see this thread I think that Apple have released a new interior for the zed "Itweed" lol.

lol , bad punctuation on my part.

here you go mate, i knew it was out there somewhere, obviously you will only need to do the bits that are relevant, but this should help.
