    you'll need to use fabric/appolstery (sp?) glue.

    don't ghetto it up - super glue = big no no.

    What she said.

    When we did my buddies door panels on his Toyota we used a product from Am Chem called "Super Stuck Up" it worked great.

    if you want to do it the RIGHT way, you would actually glue the suede onto a thin white peice of fabric (forgot what it's called) and then glue the white onto whatever surface... then smooth it out , let it dry , etc.

    but i imagine you could probably skip that step. just make sure you use either a spray glue or a brush on glue. don't "kingergarten elmers glue streak" it up haha

    i used this 4 dollar bottle of spray adhesive in the paint section from walmart

    it works well

    get some goof off too, you're sure to spray some glue on the panel you'll need to get off after.

    good luck.
