Hell. NO!

I discovered the velcro I purchased isn't the kind with the adhesive. Memo to self: Do NOT go shopping in a hurry!
Why not use the Marine Adhesive to secure the Velcro?
Great Job! FredMerry Christmas.... to me! Like a sleepless kid, on the night before Christmas, I couldn't help myself and went for my present early. With Chuck Berry's, "Chuck Berry Is on Top", cranking in the background, I got to it. The panels went in as planned. There was one minor glitch that I can live with. On the passenger side, I extended the vinyl a 1/4" past the template and the top of the panel covers the edge of the body. However, on the drivers side, I didn't do it. I just plain forgot and didn't make a note on the template to remind me. Shit happens. It's one of those things that's not really noticeable, unless you look closely and compare both sides. I'm okay with it.
The flap on the passenger side, that covers the door brace, will get a strip of velcro to cover the gap. I'll get that next week. On the top of the door, I could use a screw in the middle, but again, it's not that noticeable. A 4" strip of velcro will fix that, because I'm not comfortable drilling a hole in the door. Looking at where the panels end, at the top corner of the seats, the black paint on the corner of the body is hardly visible, which confirmed my plan to either use bed liner on that area and the back panel or just paint it black. All in all, I'm very pleased with my first effort at an interior. Is it perfect? No. But it's pretty damn good, in my opinion and that's what counts.
So, here are the pics.
