(excuse me for my english i use a translator)

Hello everyone ,

I have a fiat panda 2 4x4 Climbing from 2004 in blue color with a red interior, I installed seat covers but the fabric of my door panels is also red and I would like to cover it with the same fabric as my seat covers
inside the door panel do you know if the rear part of the fabric is easily removable?

maybe some of you did?

because if it is too difficult I hesitate to buy fabric paint but I would prefer to avoid this option

Thank you for your answers, see you soon :)
 
Had the interior door panels off a few times on mine and I believe the center piece that would hold the fabric (no fabric on mine, but I imagine the plastic is fixed the same way) is held in with melted plastic rivets that you'd have to remove to reupholster it. Don't imagine it's too hard to remove and replace.
 
It's indeed held by plastic rivets. I have no idea what fastening you would need to use when the rivet heads are knocked off to separate the panels.

Perhaps get a panel from a scrap yard to practice on. One in poor condition would be very cheap.
 
slightly off topic.

About 5 years ago I looked at replacing the seat covers

I found some original new cheap OEM ones in most fabric colours on an eBay site

I believe is was Poland but may have been Italy

you will need to Google translate "seat covers" into the correct language


they didn't show up on eBay .co.uk or .com but did post to the UK
 
I've just had a play around with Google translate and www.eBay.pl. Can't find any door cards or seat covers for Fiat Panda.

I dont have enough interest to look again as I don't need them any more


a quick search of eBay.pl pulls up nearly 600 results covers just for the panda. Unfortunately a lot are just universal. Within the first page there was several exact copies of the OEM. When I looked about 5 years ago there was NOS knocking about

as an example a quick 5 mins search found this https://www.ebay.pl/itm/IMBOTTITURA...030576?hash=item4b8ef5f3b0:g:JyYAAOSwocFe83v3 which would have been handy for me earlier
 
Hello everyone

Thank you very much for your answers, what worries me is how to replace these rivets once removed, I think I will disassemble the door panel to take a closer look.

My seat covers are made for fiat panda and I have asked the shop to sell me additional fabric to cover the door panels, the covers are already in place I will try to post a picture to show you
