Covering Hatch Panels W/Vinyl


HusseinHolland

Recommended Posts

Since it's been rainy all weekend I've been working inside on vinyl covering for the all-plastic 280Z hatch area panels. Closed cell foam to replace the old foam padding.

added a canvas edging where the hatch inner panel sits against the opening - I don't like that one can see the mount hardware & gap between the inside of the glass & the trim, hopefully this will fill it

undecided on covering the 1/4 glass trim, so many curves it will be a PITA to cover

test fitting the 1/4 inner panel - the lip covers the exposed opening

left hatch area panel test fit -  note I did not re-introduce the speaker perforations in the bottom left. I'm not going to put speakers in the original locations anyway.
