And then I tacked the two together using a clean popsicle stick and lightly clamped them together using popsicle sticks and clothes pins:
Tomorrow I will spray 3M74 on the foam and back of the vinyl and tack it down. I will then use the contact cement, popsicle stick, clothes pin method on the other edge. Lastly, I will trim excess with an Exacto knife.
I am debating whether I pull all the old heavy sound insulation from the rear or not...I am still not decided.
Here is a shot of a new carpet piece - charcoal squareweave:

Hello SpyderMike, I'm doing the same recover on my pillars as well. Can you please describe the foam used for this portion? Thickness, etc. pics maybe.
Also curious if your entire carpet kit has that rubber backing as shown on the pedal cover piece in this photo? I ordered my squareweeve from World Upholstery and it has no backing whatsoever on any of it.
Cheers and nice work!
