Console Storage Lid?
Has anyone tried to cover theirs? Not the cushion MAD sells, but actually cover it with vinyl or leather?
I have a small crack in the right rear corner and the usual sides pulling out. Just trying to find some ideas to fix it without having to replace it.
Pics if you have them.

Re: Console Storage Lid? (R94 LT 1)
Buying a new one was the only way to go for me because the old one was lifting up along the edges and the bottom plastic plate was cracked. They aren't made well. Even the new one needed to be glued in a few places. This thread shows the before and after.

Re: Console Storage Lid? (R94 LT 1)
I never tried recovering my lid but I was able to fix where it was coming apart on the passenger side. The foam was coming apart and not allowing me to open the lid without it catching on the side of the console. I took the lid off, pulled the vinyl down into position, drilled small holes and inserted some really small screws to hold it in place. It's working, for now, but for how long, nobody knows. Eventually I'll be buying a new lid.
