Were you able to chat with your guy? Only curious if someone could make "slip overs" because I've been thinking of having this done. I mean... some velcro would hold it down.

The problem is with the unevenness of the current carpeted tunnel. The carpet will need to be removed and the fibreglass substrate be prepared before you can just do a "slip-cover" over it. I am considering having a sheetmetal tunnel made that fits OVER the fibreglass one. This sheetmetal tunnel will then be upholstered with the leather-look vinyl. Simple, smooth & flat surfaces with no bulges!
