Has anyone reupholstered their cargo cover?

Has anyone here reupholstered theirs and if so what material did you use? What did you do to remove the old carpet material? I've seen the DIY on making your own, but I would like to repair the OEM one I have. Pics or a DIY link found elsewhere would be greatly appreciated. :thumb:

The last time I saw it being redone was at a interior reupholsters shop.

I used hard board to plug the holes and did a layer of 29 ounce fiberglass chop mat on the top and bottom for extra strength. I used regular speaker box carpet to cover it. But I used the back side to show. It had shorter fibers.

First of all you gotta get the measurements of your covers. Next I went to Walmart and picked out a fabric I liked and get it a littler longer then your measurements cuz it needs to be tucked and wrapped on the bottom. Then in the fabric aisle there's is a blue can and its spray on adhesive aka spray on glue for fabric for like $10. To apply lay the fabric on the cover and spray one end of the cover and apply part of the fabric and pull the get out the wrinkles then work way up the cover till the whole fabric is covering your cargo covers them flip it around and all the remaining fabric cut so it won't be too long and spray the bottom with the glue and fold the fabric under and boom your done.
