Just made another couple of coin tray inserts for the top of the dash, I thought I would take some pictures through the project. this thread is in two posts.
The trays themselves are made from ABS automotive plastic about 1/8 of an inch. I had cloth inserts,but the cloth gets really dingy after a while. heres the pieces laid out on the material, I used blue tape to mark the areas that need glue.

glue is applied to the material, it has to dry on the material and the part for about 15 minutes. you want it tacky so it sticks. I use delta glue,good stuff but really strong

always mark what side to apply glue too,it's really easy to forget and cover the wrong side.

material trimmed,notice the material is cut in a pinking pattern,this allows it to fold over the edges with bunching up, this takes practice to cut and stretch fabric
