Hi--
I am planning on using vinyl (Tex) for the dash, the soft top cover, under dash panels, etc. I have leather for the seats.
Has anyone done their own upholstery in these areas who can give me a tip on padding beneath the Tex?
What type and thickness padding did you use?
I was at the upholstery store today, and the woven headliner material looked intriguing--cloth covered foam about 3/16 " thick. It looked like it would hold dimension pretty well and not "thin out" when pulled around contours.
Alternatively, the store also had some cloth backed vinyl remnants with about a total thickness of 1/16".
I have also considered closed-cell foam that is used to underlay laminate flooring--it's about 3/16" thick and fairly dense. With it's closed-cell configuration, I figured that I wouldn't have to worry about moisture accretion.
Any experience or suggestions on the above or a better alternative is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Joe
