I have a Capri blue 1959 Euro bug. Can anyone show a photo or tell me what color the door pillars are? Also should the material be vinyl or cloth?
Thanks
Bruce

The B- pillars should be light grey vinyl, to match your headliner. Where the B- pillar tees off under the quarter windows should be light grey mohair, like your headliner.

Thanks Stale Air, that is what I thought. Got the wrong color, does not match the headliner. I will need to straighten this out.

Nope, no argument at all, I expected one, but nothing but full cooperation. He would not even take money to. Cover materials. Lenny has been nothing but totally professional to me.

I believe the strap loops are grey vinyl. Am I correct?
Thanks

PostPosted: Wed May 06, 2015 7:23 pm    Post subject: Interior Reply with quote

Thanks for the response. I think I FINALLY have all the right stuff for my interior except the mats and carpeting, which I plan on purchasing from WW. I did round up some OG door panels that are pretty nice, but will need cleaning and maybe some re-coloring to match the seats. I saw you had a post on re-stapling your panels. Do you have any advice on cleaning and restoration of my door panels?
Thanks
Bruce

In a recent post diluted simple green was mentioned as a door panel and seat cleaner
