Yeah I gathered glue is the best , didn't know if a certain spray adhesive was best

Nah, just gel super glue does the trick.

Surely super glue would just soak through that?

I used superglue gel, it worked fine.

It doesn't soak through or discolour the material. The bit you use it on isn't visible anyway.

Does anyone have a fix for the creased arm rest part?

I'm about to tackle mine, but haven't come up with a workable idea yet....

The best I can come up with is gluing a thin bit of shaped ply to the underside and clamping it flat?

Superglue works fine, I did mine .... You shouldn't see it anyway as you stretch the fabric and glue down on the back of the card.

It may take a little longer to set though so you will have to be patient.

For the arm rest issue if the hard boards just gone in side just be very carful you don’t tear the outer material and try and replace it with new hard board. Or push back the existing board then glue a new peace on top.

I'm an upholsterer, usual thing to do with the side panels would be to glue it down if it can't be stapled. A can of Trim Fix will do the job nicely, a very fine spray on the cloth and the board and it'll stick and shouldn't seep through, it's designed specifically for vehicle trim.

You could spray it on the face side, or if you're overly cautious you could just spray around the edges of the rear of the board and the edge of the cloth.

Superglue should do just fine also :)

If you're feeling adventurous you could try sewing it into the board...

how does the board come off? i think i asked before on another thread but have forgotten 8-) .. easier with the door card off, or does it have to come off?

The board is glued on mate you will need to undo handle and the grab arm to take off, door card can stay on I think

That's what I'm thinking of doing. I'll cut out some thin ply, glue it to the underside of the rest and try to clamp it flat. Its the clamping flat that'll be the issue.

My door cards have speaker holes cut in them. I've managed to mask the holes by gluing on Phase 2 speaker grilles; it looks good but its not the correct Williams 1 look.

I've got a spare set of W1 cards (without speaker holes) but the arms rests are appalling, the vinyl has split.

Hmm...:-k

You loose the arm rest and door pocket.

Shame really; prepped and sprayed the correct colour it may have been a good option.

You can have the arm rest and pocket if you want to + if you have front rool bars you can have the door card made so the bars miss the Cards

Not cheep though

crossers, do you want to sell the original W1 cards that are in a poor condition so I can play around with them?

I've finished repairing the ones with the speaker holes in. They look good, but are more suited to a 2 or 3 due to me using phase 2 speaker grilles to mask the holes.

I've started to work on the others now Northy, sorry pal.

I've come up with a method of getting them as good as they're going to be, and reinforcing the arm rest.

I'll post some pics up when I'm done. The only problem I have now is working out what to do with the small crack/tear in the vynal.
