How do I re-install the tambours in my Hoosier cabinet?

I have them all reassembled with animal glue and fabric (those instructions were available on the web). However, I can't figure out how to get that assembly installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I'm in Orange County, CA if anyone know a pro that can do this.

I guess no one can tell you how to fix a tambour door in a sellers Antique Hoosier Cabinet. Must not be able to be done !
Were you the one who took it apart? Probably not, but you would simply reverse the steps to put it back together. Best of luck, but likely you need someone who knows where there may be hidden screws and works with this type of cabinetry regularly.
Got it done. Turned out beautifully!
How did you remove them? That should give you a clue! Might have to disasemble the cabinet. I am siting infront of a desk with a tembour at the moment. Must say it would not be a favourite job to undertake. Might need a cabinet maker.
You should find if you take the back off the cabinet there is provision to slip the tambor in from there. That is the normal way to do it, and in just about all the tambored cabinets I've worked on, this is what I've found. This should apply whether the tambour runs vertically or horizontally.
