I was going to say- it looks a bit thicker than original in the repaired area. I would have overbuilt it the same way- nice job.
If you throw a little bit of black paint on the inside before putting it back together, it will be tough to tell there was ever any damage! |

ok, i have 2 options from the upholsterer for adding carpet to the bottom of the doghouse. can anyone tell me how this would have been done originally on an '88??
Option 1 : sew carpet to bottom of vinyl and wrap/glue. Option 2 : add a 1/4" ply ferring strip ~4" from the bottom. staple vinyl to the ply, then staple carpet to the ply (upside down), fold the carpet over itself and wrap/glue. I think the end result will look the same...Option 1 seems more "correct" to me, but I'm no upholsterer... |

The carpet is sewn to the vinyl from the factory.
