I'm going to install the foam and vinyl on the top of the dash, between the dash top and the windshield. I've read several of the previous posts, with several recommendations of using 1/8" foam. Should I cut the foam to the exact dimension of the dash or should I trim it 1/4"? I understand that I'm suppose to glue the foam down, and only glue the edges of the vinyl to the metal frame, not to the foam.
Any other suggestions? -- Rob |

I covered mine too. It didn't seem to matter that much about leaving the foam piece bigger. I made a template with paper first and cut it out to be as close to exact as possible. It would have been nice to have the whole dash out, but I was able to do it with just the windshield out. I used some super strong spray adhesive to hold everything down and I sprayed it on the entire surface - not just the perimeter. It seems pretty good and it's been in the sun and in the cold.
I used some left over foam and vinyl to cover a console that I made, so that matches too. I got my supplies here: http://www.newmexicofabricsandfoam.com/ |
