300SD Rear Window Deck

Tried this on the Detailing Forum, but no luck. Since you guys baby your babies, thought I'd ask here...

The fabric in the deck under the rear window in my 80 300SD (which spent most of its formative years baking in the hot TX sun... ) is rotten. It crumbles when you touch it and I have looked everywhere for a replacement fabric, but no luck. I am about to pull the seats out for the Leatherique treatment and this would be a perfect time to take care of this. Funny, the leather right in front of the deck is perfect...a bit dry, but not split/cracked. Any suggestions on how to get the panel out and what to recover with?

Recover it with German package tray velour, check here:http://www.worlduph.com/material.htm . To remove package tray you unscrew the side panels beside it, disconnect rear reading lights and slide the side panels up and back before they will release(clips). With the side panels loose (seatbelts still thru them) and the rear seat back and speakers removed the package shelf will slide forward and out. Check out the manual so you don't break clips though.

Thanks for the info.....talked to World Upholstery today...I'm looking for a driver's seat cushion cover, too. They don't have palamino anymore, but she is sending a sample of the saddle color they are stocking. Anything is better that what is back there. Will let you know how it turns out.

Do you think just spray contact glue to replace with?
