Default Re: Upholstery Question

On my S/W, I had to trim that panel to fit, by peeling away the fabric from the edge, trimming the cardboard, and gluing the fabric back down. I also had to shave the mohair on the bottom folded-over portion of the fabric, so that the bottom edge of the panel would be thin enough to fit into the groove in the metal trim piece.

My interior kit was from LB-B, and I actially had to trim a lot of the panels. The mohair seems denser and thicker than the original stuff, and I had to shave the back on other panels too, like the bottom edges of the long ones that go over the doors.
