I thought this would be easy but spent too much time today trying to find replacement foam on the top front of the dash next to the windshield and covered in vinyl. With the best scrap of my fossilized original foam in hand, I searched in vain at a fabric store and Michael's. Finally broke my taboo and went into Wal-mart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) where I found a sheet of open cell foam 1/4" thick. Hard to tell how thick the original was before 40 years of "significant shrinkage" took its toll, but its barely over 1/16" thick now.I'm not sure if 1/4" is too thick and won't open the package until I have a ruling from the committee. I'm thinking 1/8" thick would be better, but where to find? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
