Tip: the pieces are symmetrical so you can fold them in half, mark the center, trace half onto the new vinyl, cut that half out then flop it over at the center line & trace to make the other end. That way you're guaranteed to have a nice, equal pattern instead of trying to compensate for the wonky old wavy piece.
Old piece:
Old piece disassembled and new pieces cut. When you're cutting it apart note that there are 2 lines of stitching; one that holds the 2 pieces together and the other is the French seam. Carefully cut both and be sure to fold open the edge where the seam was before tracing it for your pattern. These have a 1/4" seam allowance.
New piece. Notice the French seam which gives it that nice, finished appearance.
The inside
I think I'll glue some 1/4" foam onto the wheel well under the vinyl. I'm not sure what was there before but I think there was something.
I'm super happy with how these turned out. The old ones always bothered me. Ick.
