Hey @GRTV8 those recoloured door pockets are a great addition. Did yours include whatever attaches the little bellows at the sides? Mine aren't tethered with those cords, or wires, or whatever is supposed to hold them on. In my case I just have the big metal clip at the bottom. and consequently every now and then the drivers pocket now falls out onto the street when I open the door. I guess the passenger one is only staying in place because I don't use it as often. I'd love to see a photo or two of how they are supposed to be mounted? Don't suppose you snapped any while you were installing them, did you?
Hi Mrtask-
Fortunately I did take a couple of pics before I "restored" the bins.
My door cards are factory originals , so all the mounting holes were in place at the rear. Sorry I didn't take a pic when I had the cards off.
Anyway the metal spring mount at the base of the bin takes all the tension when in situ. It pushes through from the face of the doorcard, using the existing factory cut gap. You will have to cut the vinyl on the face of the door card to access that "factory cut gap"
The two side bellows are actually glued to the bin and the two wire ends punch through the doorcard and twine together at the rear of the door card when mounted.
One of the pics shows how the wires attach when the bin is mounted. It is soft galv wire and sold at any DIY store.
The bellows don't actually do anything except hold your stuff in when the bin is pulled open. I guess this is why they are only glued in. I reglued with PVC glue.
I managed to find some sticky back black felt at a haberdashery, cut it to size and stuck it over the manky felt that was originally there inside the bins.
Hope this helps- happy to answer my obscure instructions
