    If I can give a hint, it would be wise to cut an X ( corner to corner ) where the Dome Light Switch goes prior to rolling it once glued. It will allow you to roll the fabric correctly into that curb ( right where the miror is, between the switch and windshield ) and reduce the chance of having creasses.



    Make it a bit smaller that the actual cut-out, cause you will want to make a nice border after. Besides, you don't know exactly how the fabric stretches and you could end-up having a cut in the fabric where you don't want to.

    In a SHORTER VERSION:

    Thanks to Kevin

    Thanks Sean, yep... and I did try to pull the rest off, so there are wholes on the foam. However, mine only appeared to have a layer of fabric and then the foam?! and now it looks crap, I reckon I better leave it for the pro's to do then. If I need the foam to be redo, will it cost more?

    Cheers,
    Carlson
