Im stuck. My top dash arrived today. Second hand so its abit warn and need work. Started pulling off the clips to remove the cover so i can work on the metal and get that part sorted before thinking about a new cover. Ive uncovered to find padding under. Trying to take the whole thing off ... taking awhile! But am i doing the right thing or am i just ruining it? Advice?

That got there fast.

You can get replacement leather covers for them. I would replace the foam and fit one of them.

Maybe try fleabay for a sheet of foam the same thickness and make a template, cut to size and glue it on maybe? Then you can put the new cover over the top

Retro retrims would be my first port of call if you want something of better quality or something a bit special
