Convertable Deck Lid - Replacing the Vinyl?
Folks,
The vinyl trim on my convertable deck lid is torn. I tried to use one of those vinyl repair kits but it still looks crappy.
I looked at MAD and Ecklers and they don't seem to have a replacement. Has anyone tried to recover this with new vinyl or found a source for replacement? I don't think it would be easy to recover with all the odd shapes it has near where it comes forward. I think they came in black or red, and mine is red.
Thank you in advance,

Before ordering a replacement, try these people: http://www.leatherrepairkits.com/
I have used their kit for leather seat repairs, and the results are "perfect". Explain your lid condition to their rep, and determine if it is worth repairing.

TTT - Any ideas? I looked that the Corvette America and Corvette Central web sites and neither appeared to carry it.
