hmmmm......
well, I havent done this yet, But I'm doing it soon.
What you need to do, is buy some foam padding if you wish to replace the foam, and try to pad it as close to the original shape of the original foam. Use upholstery adhesive for that. under the pad is a metal plate, and the ends slope down drastically so you would have to add more padding for the ends.
To put on the vinyl, you use the same adhesive, only you have to cut the vinyl to size......leave enough over hang on the edges, maybe 2-3 inches all the way around the pad.
Then apply an even coat of adhesive( one good coat or two passes over, the adhesive sprays like out off control silly string web, youll see) to the faom and to the wrong side of the vinyl, let them sit for between 5-10 minutes. Then apply the vinyl to the adhesive......DON'T RUSH, ONCE THE ADHESIVE HAS BEEN SITTING IT'S LIKE AUTOMATIC BOND ONCE YOU APPLY BOTH SIDES TOGETHER. Then let er sit for a few minutes. After this do the same to the back of the metal plate, apply adhesive to over hanging vinyl and metal plate let sit for a few min, then pull the vinyl as to not create folds on the edges and apply. On one side at a tim..... this is the idea anyways.....I hope I at least gave you a good start. Or wherever you buy the vinyl, just ask the people there for advice, most people will be happy to help.
