Here is what i have done so far. Tomorrow I will finish her up. Pretty happy with the out come so far. For the smaller harder to reach areas like the curves in the door I opted to use a small flathead (eyeglass repair kit size) to navigate around those curves. Worked out quite well. But be VERY cautious and careful...the flathead can scratch the plastic if you aren't slow and gentle.

Looks great pumpkin!
Let's get some shots of the ends and come up with a good way to handle them. FYI, if you do the ABL-style (top of dash only), then you only need two packs. |

I am thinking that I may put a line of thin cording in the seam behind the piping to hold it in place. As like with any "concept" idea, trial and error until you find what works.

i figure because I made my own piping, it was easier to manipulate the inner cording..so when it came to getting a clean flat edge, i simply used hot glue to pinch the edge together, then folded it over, hot glued and pinched it again to make it nice and flat. It created a nice clean edge for my starting point.

They didn't have any silver/grey so I tried to dye some. Currently they look like a blackish-blue. So unless I can get them to a more grey color I'm probably going to trash mine.

Those edges were indeed a challenge! The panels were much tighter in those spots and trying to "tuck" the piping into the seam only pulled it out so that the panel wouldn't lie flush. Ill take a pic of what I did.

It was VERY difficult trying to figure out a way to clean this up... I couldn't get the piping to go into the door panel (too tight and it lifted the panel and left a gap). If you were to simply glue a strip of piping on top of that seam (without wedging it into the seam crack) you could run the risk of the door not closing properly because of the "bulge" the piping would leave..although I am pretty sure the piping is pliable enough that it would flatten out over time. This seems like the best option if you want to carry the piping all the way around the panel. Carefully cut off the fabric overhang (but not to much as to open the seam where the cording is) and very carefully glue the piping into that crease. I may try this today.
I simply stopped the piping and didn't bother trying to bring it all the way around. It isn't the cleanest, but the best that I could do. Again, folding the ends over and glueing them flat. Short of taking the entire panel off, I don't think there is a way to get the fabric under that panel in that specific area.
