Does anyone know if there is a backpad delete process documented in a thread?
For those who have done it did you leave the rubber mat attached tot he inside of the firewall or remove it? What materials felt/carpet? have been used to cover the firewall? Sources? |

QUOTE(partwerks @ Feb 20 2022, 04:27 PM)  I put in a rear view mirror with map lights. ^ Good idea. Was looking at installing one or two very small LEDs into holes in the underside of the targa bar pad, aiming them forward, and then running the existing wiring up to power them. If I ever reupholster my back pad, I may do it anyway as the factory "dome" light has never fit (or worked) all that well. |
