Pulling the cabin with your own hands. Tips and Tricks

In most cases, the salons of new cars are trimmed in the style of "unisex", that is, in discreet tones with an expressionless design. Such versatility, according to producers, does not irritate anyone's taste. However, every owner wants to drive in a nice car that's outside, that's inside. Therefore, more and more often the question is asked whether it is possible to tighten the cabin with their own hands. And if it is possible, then in what order it is produced.

At the moment, the constriction of the car is one of the most popular types of tuning. On this, the owners can have several reasons - it's an unskilled factory finish, and sometimes substandard materials. Young motorists with the help of a salon change give the interior of the car a particular stylistic orientation.

Many people prefer to carry out this procedure in specialized workshops. Depending on the materials and the complexity of the work, the price of the waist of the car can reach up to several tens of thousands of rubles. But this is for those who, as they say, from boredom have no place to put money. For an ordinary car enthusiast, this luxury is not always affordable, so below we will try to understand in detail how to tighten the cabin with their own hands.

Material selection

This is a simple and at the same time a complex process. One should learn one truth bordering on paradox: not all expensive is qualitative, but all high-quality is expensive. Thus, first of all, when choosing materials for finishing, we pay attention to this nuance. A good quality material is alcantara, or, as it is called in the people, artificial suede. It perfectly combines with the skin and plastic elements, pleasant to the touch and quite durable. The main advantage of Alcantara is its high wear resistance and abrasion resistance. It does not burn and does not react to temperature changes.

Another, also quite practical and often used for finishing the salon material - the skin. The salon, covered with leather, unofficially raises the status of the car. This is an element of luxury. In addition to prestige, leather trim has good soundproofing qualities. However, tightening the cabin with your own hands using automotive leather is not an easy thing to do. In the event that the cladding is incorrectly fixed in any place, instead of a level surface you risk getting a salon decorated in the "shar peya style" - all the trimming will go into folds and the view will be hopelessly damaged.

The order of performance of works

The most complex element of the interior of the car, according to the designers, is the torpedo (panel). It is she who will take away most of the time, which will have to be spent on re-equipping the cabin. The complexity of the constriction of this element is that the torpedo has a lot of hidden fastenings, which can not always be understood by an experienced master. So when working with this element you will have to be patient. But it's worth it. Torpedo is always in sight and from its appearance there is a general impression about the cabin.

When you cope with the torpedo, then the tightening of the cabin with your own hands will go much faster. The second stage will be the tightening of the doors. Here, in principle, everything is much simpler: the old casing is removed, the dust from the door surface is wiped off and then a new finishing material is marked. The main difficulty in finishing the doors is to gently fill the edges of the finishing material under the edges of the plastic and prevent the formation of wrinkles.

And the final stage will be a constriction of the ceiling. Here, as well as on the doors, you should remove the old casing and clean the surface. The fixation of the new material on the ceiling starts from the middle with a gradual advance to the sides. Excess material is cut off only after finishing the entire surface of the ceiling.

It can not be said that the constriction of the cabin is a matter of simple and rapid. There is nothing tricky here, however, nothing is there, but certain skill and patience will still be required. But after the upgrade you can fully enjoy a comfortable trip in a cozy car.
