Replaced the clear vinyl in my front passenger soft door this morning. First I cut a piece of 40ga marine vinyl to fit and then glued it to the zipper. This was to hold it in place while I stitched.
Then I had to disassemble the foot of my HD sewing machine to get the frame under it.
I could only stitch the sides and top, as the arm of my machine is not long enough to do the bottom.
I then finished the bottom w/ a speedy stitcher using heavy thread. It wasn’t ideal, but I didn’t want the typical heavy cord to stand out. In retrospect I should have just used black cord and been done with it. The thread wasn’t easy to use.
Lastly I cut out the old window with my seam ripper. It is now mad at me, but seam rippers are cheap.
Can’t say I want to do that again, but it’s nice having the window fixed.
The downside to this is now one window looks fantastic and the other three are faded...
