re - covering fabric in boat cabin

[Mexican cuties]

any suggestions best way to re cover the grey back rest panel without removing the padding, any one else done something similar, thank you

If it's like mine then it's a sheet of plywood with foam stuck to it, then fabric pulled over the foam and stapled at the back. You'll need to find out how it's fixed - must be some brackets or poppers somewhere.

Nice colour scheme BTW.

My partner did new cushions for our forecabin recently - we have new foam but her method would work over the existing too.

She used a sheet of hardboard as a backing then secured the fabric to it with stainless steel stables (the board is covered too, it's all much neater than it sounds!). Might not be suitable with yours being curved.

She's going to do the quarter berths without the board (so we can get them in and out more easily) and will effectively make a sock the foam slides into.
