I stored my door panels the wrong way now I have crease lines in the vinyl. I am looking for someone with experience on how to remove the creases. I tried a steamer and it helped a little but they are still there. Any help or ideas on what others have tried would be appreciated.

Isn't that basically foam behind the vinyl? If that's the case, I think there's not much to do about it mate.

QUOTE (bmj67 @ Nov 30, 2009 - 3:02 PM)  try using a hair dryer and heat it up for alittle bit ^^^ a hair dryer or a heat gun is a very effective way to make vinyl more malleable, after heat is applied. I've used this same principle to apply vinyl inserts along my car's dash/interior. So if the same concept applies, it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least try. -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd go for the heat gun, just be very careful, heat guns put out a ton of heat so don't get it too close (like less than six inches)-and B.G. by golly
 keep it moving back and forth, don't stay in one spot. Blow dryers probably won't put out enough heat.

a blow dryer will put out enough heat if you have it on high heat and low air. i've done it before when i recovered atv and dirt bike seats. just heat it and work the area around with your fingers it should come back up. as others have said dont get too close and dont overheat
