Refabricating the Interior

If its your own material, then this could be due to not enough fabric lengthwise,
so its pulling.
Either that, or yeah its just not glued well enough; so just repaste.
If its the stock and you dont want to peel it off to paste, then I would try a heat gun (from a safe distance not to burn) and just warm it up to melt the original glue a bit and re-stick.
If its refab and its pulling, I would personally redo the whole thing with some slack...

I'm actually trying to do a luxury theme with my lancer, might sound weird to some, but I was throwing around the LV theme too until I saw a numerous amount of cars with that theme at several car shows. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of choices of designer fabrics, and most of them aren't real; however, I think I've decided on Gucci fabric. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your fabric from, and if they have other designer fabrics available? Thanks.
Pleeeeeeeeeease don't
notice how flamed he got for his LV?
Lancer + Luxury = Stupid
When the fabric is worth more then the car, it's not worth it.
In the end though, it is your car

Well, everyone else seems to try to make their Lancer look like an Evo, and I'm not really one to follow what everyone else does. I'm sure plenty of people will hate on my car after I do it, but plenty of people will make fun of it for trying to look like an evo too. So either way, you take a risk when modifying your car, but as long as it's something different, that should be respectable.
Only a small minority of people actually want to make their lancers look like an evo. Putting on an evo wing (a factory option) is pretty common and is done because some people don't like the stock wing but like how the evo wing fits with our car's lines. My main problem is this, LV and Gucci fabric in a car looks dumb in my opinion because neither company makes anything for cars. if you want to do something "neat" to the interior, get some Bride seats and Bride fabric.
