1. remove pods from '6'.
2. clean/remove loose debris from inside separation.
3. mask perimeter of 'good' vinyl edge.
4. get inside foam wet. Good n' wet.
5. apply G-Glue, work way in there with brushes.
6. clamp down as needed. -you may have to do a few sessions/sections in stages.
7. clean excess
8. when glued has cured, you can shape/file excess
9. clean surface w/alchohol.
10 paint to your color.
-mine were pearl beige before this repair, I chose to paint them ultra-flat black. I like the color-change, it kida ties them in with the side panels.
-this method worked to my satisfaction, actual results may vary.
-this does not create an 'as-new' pod, but does rectify an eyesore for minimal expense. The cost for me was under $20.00, I bought glue & brushes,
but had all the rest.
-the real key, IMO, was the clamping. pay attention to pressure distribution, and too much pressure may leave a scar in the foam.
H.T.H.

My '85 635 storage/speaker housings on the rear shelf need some help.
Like many I've seen, the foam and covering are pulled away/bowed up over the handles.
Is there a way to reattach the foam to the metal below it?
Would appreciate any help any of you could give!
Thanks
