May you send the spare parts codes for cords and rings ?
If you have a link whre should be ordered, I will be very pleased !
Hi, the part numbers are in the video somewhere in the first 5 minutes. I went to my local dealership which is probably your only option for the cords. Someone else found a cheaper tape option I think in the thread above.
Good news and bad news. First the bad - the wrap around the cords seemed to work really well at first, but after a few cycles, the cords started getting stuck in the eyes. The wrap just made them a little too thick. So now the good news. I went ahead and took the plunge, bought the needed parts, and did the full job this weekend. It went slowly but worked out very well. I'm pleased with the result. I took multiple videos in the process and am in the process of editing and adding notes in there for anyone else who wants to try it. All in all, this is a $100 job if I have to do it again. First time through I had to buy a couple of tools. It also took about 7 hours of garage time to complete. As suspected, this was not rocket science but was tedious and required some good basic car knowledge and experience. Not a job for a newbie or impatient person. Video to come soon!
Passenger Side before paint touch-up. Driver's side.
i saw your video. Very badass. I’m considering buying the parts and doing it on my own too and just replacing the strings as they snap. I got a quote of a few grand to fix which includes a new headliner when I know I just need the strings replaced.
