So it begins.
I drilled out and dremeled off the plastic welds that hold the sections together. This first set won't be getting anything drastic done to it, just going to be modified to fit an Intrepid. If you look on the left of the picture you can see the intrepid piece cut to shape ready to be molded to the M panel. The vinyl on the M panel has already been peeling back more than far enough to give me unrestricted access to the plastic that I need to modify. That part is so much easier with the panels apart.
I also used a razor to slice the foam backing off the plastic so that the vinyl should be nice and smooth once it is reattached to the panel.
In the future once I get a set of dark slate panels I'll be doing a lot more modifications, but this is a good trial run and I really want to just get these in the car soon. Once my car is riding around with a full interior I'll be much happier turning my attention to other things.
