Made up the side covers today.
I got out the left over pieces of plastic from the TV back cover that I cut the arm rest out of.
The center section should do nicely.
I used a propane torch, old knife, a straight edge & a couple of clamps.
Starting with the right side, I measured the area we needed to cover (6") then marked & cut out two strips.
From the front point to the rear edge was ~18" but we only had ~16" to work with.
So, the side panels ended up being 6" tall x 15" wide.
Next marked the contour from the front of the arm rest on the side panel & hot knifed it right off.
Next, layed the first panel on top of the second panel & marked a matching contour.
Dumb idea!
They need to be back to back, NOT on top of.
Now I have (2) right panels.
Cut another 6" strip & marked it correctly.
Smoothed up the corners & cleaned up the edges with a table top belt sander.
