Last night I decided to trim some of the foam in that area. I took about a 1/4" of material out of the end(where the trim meets the pad) and angled it back to the curve by the light bar. The trim looks like it will fit a lot better now. That's the good news.....................
The vinyl was pie cut and wrapped around the inside. When I took the vinyl loose and pulled it back to trim the foam, the vinyl split. I was trying to be careful but it split anyway. Now I have about a 3/4" long tear in the vinyl. Also, I didn't want to slice up through the vinyl when I was cutting out the foam so I didn't cut all the way through it. I just pulled the excess foam out...now when I pull the vinyl tight, you can see a wavy line where the foam wasn't cleanly cut. I could pull back the vinyl again to make a cleaner cut but I'm sure it will tear even more.
Now I'm trying to find someone who can repair the tear. I think I'm going to dye the pad anyway(this pad is flat and doesn't have much gloss to it) so the repair should be hidden if done properly. I wonder if there is a way for ME to repair it?
