Well... its vinyl under the nasty tweed/cloth crap, why re cover it with that? Just fill the holes...

im doing the same thing because i have pw panles from my crashed car and switched the interior from my newer 240 that was brown w/ mw. you have to get the vinyl w/o the cloth on the back. this kind does stretch and you do have to use a heat gun and really strong spray glue. i heated up a baseball bat head to push into the one corner to stretch it, im sure you know what corner im talking about. the vinyl will get hard after it cools from the heat and is contoured just right. good luck

do you have any of these??

I wonder if theyre pre CUT only or if they shape and contour will fit as well.
