How to Refurbish Your Classic Car's Original Door Cards

Often the door card in a classic car will warp due to water, which naturally gets past the wind-down window seals in large quantities, finding its way onto the door card. In this course Ed Hughes shows you how to replace the board and reuse the old upholstery. He demonstrates how to remove the old door card, assess the card, clean it and make local repairs. Ed will also teach you how to attach and detach classic trim and explains the options available when reviving your interior.
