Mine shows the remains of glue.

So, is it to be covered ? If so, was it vinyl, carpet or just.... Glossy rattle can black ?

Besides, which size is the dunlopillo foam piece inside the tunnel ? I organized some matress remains down the street (old furniture day....they throw it all on the road, the town huge orange cars pick it up- and I was faster then them...), so I have to cut it to fit.

Hi Carsten....i just cut a piece of foam to fit....dont use too much becaus when you refit tne cover you want it as low down as possible, if you dont fit it low then once you fit all the center consol the radio will be a bit high and the drop down panel wont open fully......for the same reason dont fit your carpet and underfelt on top of the cover......just fit it up tne sides......my cover was just red primer undercoat
