Thanks!
Its pretty simple. Use some carpet glue on the cover. What's nice is the underneath of that door comes off so you can fold the Alcantara under then screw that piece back on to hold it on while the glue dries.

Everyone here has been very helpful.

Ah you just wrapped over the OEM pad... That seems simple enough.. THANKS.

lso do you have some shots of the doors? I have a 1990 but the Later torch red interior. Currently using 94-96 door panels, but they are cheaply made vs the 93 panels, which I also have, but cannot remember if the door handle bezels are red or black

THANKS

Yes. I left the pad on and wrapped around that. That kept it very soft as well.

The door bezels are red. At the bottom of my web page you can see updated pictures of my interior. There are shots of the door panels.

No. I think I picked up a can at Autozone. It was 3M.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Welcome!

Z is turning out completely awesome!

...one thought, if you haven't already... when you get the rear wheels off, you may want to go deeper and clean rust off of the spindle shafts (splines), and then relube. If it's there, the rust will cause a clicking/popping noise when you start rolling. I did it on my '94 here:
