I live in the Bay Area and there is a largre reputable upolstery shop that had done work on my 1964 Galaxie 500. They removed the panels from the car and the upper inner weather strip, which is found on the panels themselves. They heated the material and reglued them with stronger adhesive; however, the most important item they did was to staple the material to the panels under the weather strip. It looks great and you can't tell they were ever in such bad shape. It cost about $500, but every time I step in, I feel it was well worth it. Mr. 960 95 volvo 960 with perfect panels :)
