what material did u lot use?
doin mine now n its hard to do it without creases.
i got this alcantara/suede type stuff from trax and it creases when i try to stick the corners etc.
bugger i started from the very bottom stickin it in sections til i came to the big crease where armrest is.
so iv ripped it off n gona restart tm when glue has dried

u stretch it to fit the door card before u start with any glue

then start at the top as this is the bit u see and work your way down, simple

ps dobt use spray glue as it goes everywhere, its easier with a brush
