the covering of the cover of my original cubby was not in leather but made of a thin layer of synthetic leather.
I cut the internal flap/lapel because the new lining is made by good quality leather and has a considerable thickness. In doing so, I recovered a little 'thickness, however little, and the result is perfect.
In all honesty, working for a company that produces special and armored vehicles, I did the job with our upholsterer who is very skilled, but it is a job that can be done even by yourself and newcomers.
Just have a good glue for fabrics / leather (I'm using the TEROSON VR 5000) and start from the central longitudinal line of the lid and proceed towards the sides, a little at a time, because once you have glued it, you do not rest it any more and you can check the allignement of the seams along the edge.
I advise you to find the best position by trying to put it without glue so you understand what is the best position and how to proceed with the gluingDiscovery 5 tdv6 HSE Corris Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition IID Pro MV License

[quote="Chobby"]I've been looking at the cream/almond one for my car, did you fit it over the top of the original vinyl type covering? How easy was it to do.
Is a cream/almond one available? If there is then I'm in
