The fiberboard type material that is between the firewall and my back pad seems to have slouched down and taken a big crease in it. You can see at the top, that its slid down about 6" below the loops for the backpad hooks.
It does not want to just pull up, the crease has take a set. Is there anyway (heat? Soaking?) to fix it? Are new ones available? Or should I just chuck it and go without?  |

Looks like four screws at the bottom hold it in, right? |
