Default door panel inserts, need insight

well im tired of looking at the cloth on my door panel so im thinking of going to get black suade material and puting there and on the top part of my jump seat where your arm rests when its down. but how do i go about getting the peice off and putting it back on on the door panel? if i remember right its melted in place? also any idea on the jump seat? i know hot to get the back part off but the top that dips down i cant seem to get seperated.

well i was bored lastnight and decided to try the jump seat/armrest/centerconsole w.e u wanna call it. its pretty much the same way cept you have to pop the inside panel off when it opens to pull it thight and tuck it to give the factory look. i did it with 1 peice instead of 3 sewed together like from the factory and i pulled it so theres no wrinkles or anything.
