    The grey fabric on interior panels on 59003 look old and stained so i thought to recover them with black leather, which i understand was a factory option also.
    Seen several threads here on how they are assembled and there seems to be some variation between cars of different modelyears.
    Can hereby verify that on a very late Euro GTS QV they are riveted behind the rear side window, which must out.
    Of course this only indicates how it was done in 59003, maybe the car before and after were different!

    These will be sitting in the corners, Gallo Micro SE. 10cm in diameter and look a lot like old Blaupunkt globes but modern hi end sound.
    Love to listen to the engine but sometimes just feels good with music also. Did the cables earlier when i had the console out doing shift shaft seals and shifter clean up.

    Try to get the thinnest material possible. If it's too thick, you may have problems getting the panels back into position. It's amazing how little extra thickness it takes to create an installation difficulty.

    Yes, it is quite tight back there around the small parts. No room for extra foam even if it would be nice with some padding under.
    Will be interesting to see how the windows go back, they were relatively easy to get out but the sharp corners can be a pain to pull over the flange.
    We´ll see, the rubber still feels nice and soft though it's age.

    It's an easier task if you use a bit of fishing line to pull the gasket through.
