I just finished doing my rear door cards. It was pretty tedious. The door cards are sonic welded together which means you need to cut the door panels apart if you want to get a good finished product.
I've seen some diys that show them grinding the welds apart. I did that in two spots and switched to a razor knife. The razor knife was twenty times faster and cleaner.
You'll have to cut the speaker out to be able to put the cloth on the panel. You will need to scrape off all the old foam. This crap gets every where so wear clothes you don't want. After all the scraping clean the board with denatured alcohol.
You will need the correct spray glue. I used the professional glue. I bought the glue and material at a local trim and upholstery shop. Apply the glue to the board and material and give it ten minutes to tack up.
Stretching the material is a pain so take your time. Once wrapped I let the panel cure overnight. The next day I trimmed the fabric and reinstalled the speaker with epoxy. Let the cure and then clamped the panel to the door with various clamps.
To reassemble the door I used 3M EZ sand epoxy. Let it cure for a couple hours and your ready to put the panel back on.
