Default interior uphostery replacement

I'm replacing the factory interior of my 95 accord lx and have some questions.
i have read through the forums and they have no mention on how to apply new fabric on the door panels of the 95 accord. it is not a seperate panel that pops off but part of the door. how is this accomplished with a clean look?

Is there a place to purchase new seatbelts online that i can replace my brown ones with?

the weather stripping around the doors that is the factory brown, how do I change this color?

Most importantly the headliner, how the hell do you replace the headliner on a 95 accord lx with a sunroof? I made a tiny cut in the rear of it and peaked in, there is just cloth, no cardboard or fiber board, just cloth, and how would i replace the panel for the sunroof? please respond back to this I am deeply frustrated and like an idiot, half way through my project before these questions came into play.

also if anyone knows a good touch up paint for scratches in painted interiors.

thanks a million to whoever can help with this

i don't know much about the 95 accord, but i'm in the middle of reupholstering and painting my interior right now in my 96 civic ex. it seems like there has to be some way to remove those panels completely, you may be missing something plastic that can be removed to gain access to a screw or two.

as far as the touch-up paint, i'm using duplicolor to paint it so i'll be using smaller cans of duplicolor and a small paintbrush to repair any scratches.

hopefully someone will reply to your question about reuphostering the sunroof headliner, i was wondering about this myself.

btw, are you applying the new material on the door panels directly onto the plastic panel or are you padding it?

as far as the headliner... does it have plastic underneath the foam padding and current upholstery? if so, you may be able to pull the whole roof liner down, remove the current, and add w/e you are looking @ adding. we did this on my sol's roof panel. we juss refoamed it, bought some spray can upholstery glue from a local upholstery guy, and glued down the new material.

You want to reupholster the headliner? I have a 95coupe I didn't take off the headliner when I did my interior I just dyed it from inside. But I did take off every other plastic piece available on the car. I'd say take that all off first then just pull on it really hard because it probably has those pegs that line up into holes in the roof, just like in the door panels.

If you figure it out let me know because I was planning on reupholstering the headliner at somepoint in time with some kind design myself aswell.

As for the weather stripping I used vinyl dye on them. Their like a rubber material. I used vinyl dye on everything actually. Clean them very thoroughly because they will be full of grime even if you don't see it. I put a ton of coats on them and let them dry for a couple of days I put them in too early once and some spots came off from the doors closing on them. I'm not sure what other products out their are good for rubber but I tried the dye and it worked pretty well. They were tan and I dyed them black so it was an extreme color change
