Topic: 66 Convertible Wheelhouse PADDING

[bryancobb]

On my MAR 66 Metuchen Conv't...The convertible top folds down and rests on the flat surfaces of the wheelhouses.  Those flat surfaces have a thin pad of some type synthetic batting to prevent rattling. (C5ZB-7632208) 

Mine are ratty and I'm redoing them.  They WERE white with a green upper surface.  Is that the norm?  The padding that Mustang parts houses have as the padding for 65 66 convertible quarter trim upholstery is a very close match except for the green upper surface.

I was hoping someone might have a picture of an unrestored car showing this detail, to compare the way mine looked.

Thanks Jeff,

That top picture looks exactly like my green ones.

Hello from good old Germany.

I'm searching for a replacement. Can someone post picture from that padding?
What a kind of material can I use for a replacement?
Thanks for your help.
