So if I replace my backpad with a carpeted one, what do you guys do if you have an access panel? If I glue down the carpet, should I perhaps cut a flap or? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andys

Have you thought of cutting a piece of carpet to match the edges of the entire center "hump" rather than just the access panel? The edging won't look so noticeable if it's at the same point as the corners of the hump. It'll be a bit big compared to the access, but should fit in nicely with the contours.

Good suggestion; hadn't thought of that.
