NEOPRENE For door Arm Rests.

Hi I just ordered a whole set of WET OKOLE seat covers for my truck and also purchased extra neoprene to replace the door fabrics on all 4. I was just searching to see if any one has done this and has had good luck with their methods. What you did. What adhesive did you use for the neoprene. And if you have how is it holding up?

input would be greatly appreciated!

 

There is a thread or two here about replacing them with leather. In those threads I think there was some discussion about using neoprene and how it didn't work very well. But maybe neoprene is actually the best choice.

 

Yeah ive read some of the methods not working to well with neoprene and also have heard good about it too. thats why Im asking because im thinking that the doors will look great black, matching the seats and center console. and I also painted my whole center console black waiting for my seats to come in.

 

Im hearing a lot about high strength 90 but not sure how well it will work on neoprene

 

Anyone?

 

I wish Wet O would make custom fit visor covers. I'd love to cover up all the warning labels with something. Good luck with your arm rests.

 

I've used neoprene (1/4") for outfitting kayaks and it holds up pretty well. I used Weldwood solvent based Contact Cement (Red Can). Can't guarantee how it would hold up on the armrests where you'll see a lot of wear in pretty much one location.

Try using Locktite brand spray adhesive. I used that stuff to recover the center armrest on my Lancer. Worked like a champ.

 

Thanks for your input guys. I will take all of it into consideration. I guess not many have done this from personal experience to be able to tell how their installation held up with neoprene
