Interior trims

[marc78]

I am looking for interior trims for the door panels, at least for the RHD front and LHD rear as they are missing and the others are present and OKayish but I could do with replacing all 4.

I have not made any research yet and I believe
that door panels are standard SIIA items and not dormobile specific.
Anyone to confirm this last assumption?

Also, and I guess this will be tougher, the RHD driver seat is teared on the side and one can see the springs inside. I believe it can be mended, but where? or find a replacement, but where?

As for finding out quality replacement, I have heard that “Exmoor trims” does provide quality although at a price, any recommendations?

Kind regards,
Marc

I have the original elephant hide door panels on Bea, they are standard Series 2 panels with pockets and armrests on the front doors. Will try and post pics over the weekend.

Had mine repaired by a local upholsterer friend who specialises in classic cars.

Exmoor Trim ‘Dormobile’ kit is very good quality, it does not completly match the original but not far off. It is expensive and requires a level of upholstery skill to fit or a professional.

Salut Marc
Pour tes intérieurs de porte , les premières séries II étaient equipées de “elephant hide” , les dernières en noir comme les séries III mais sans trou pour le verouillage des fenêtres .Tu peux refaire les dernières avec un skaï noir , attention , il faut le prendre de qualité et retrouver l’aspect d’origine . Pour la peau d’éléphant , Exmmoor ne la vend pas au detail , de toute façon , elle n’aurait pas le même aspect qu’une ancienne . L’idéal est de trouver de vieux morceau et de réparer .
Pour les sièges , mon intérieur complet vient de chez Exmoor , j’ai pas trouvé ça trop cher , j’ai pu tout monter moi même et ça ajustait bien .Mon erreur a été de ne pas revoir correctement les rembourages sous le skaï , ce qu’aurait fait un pro .Les defauts du produit : l’aspect peau d’éléphant n’est pas très bien réussi , il fournissent du produit en rabe pour couvrir la partie arrière des dossiers des sièges avant mais rien pour la partie inférieure des assises des sièges avant ,la j’ai du laisser les anciens morceaux .Le plus ennuyeux : il ont fait les “pipes” avec un retour de skaï blanc , et bonjour quand tu veux dormir et que ça te cisaille le dos ,les pipes d’origine étaient beaucoup plus petits
Bon courage
Michel

Mine are currently black with Elephant Hide bottoms. I suppose the Elephant Hide is original, like on Michel’s. I will also be buying Exmoor covers when it’s time, even if they aren’t perfect imitiations.

It’s too bad about the piping making an uncomfortable bed, but mine have no piping and I think they’re uncomfortable enough! I use a foam pad!

I have a question, myself, about trim, if I may ask it in Marc’s thread: I’m re-wallpapering and/or replacing my interior panels this week. Does anyone know where to find the plastic U-profile edging that’s on some of the trim pieces? I’m missing some segments of it. thanks,

-Jeremy
