After using a steel brush to get the heavy foam out I used Acetone on about a 6"x6" area with a putty knife to scrape glue and foam off. Still have to finish edges and some portions in the middle and right panel. Anyone think it would be a good idea to spray primer it before gluing the fabric on? My back is aching so tomorrow is another day!
Putting a nice coat on each face is good enough, I was too light in some areas and it came away and I had to fix it.
Not too much or it will come through the fabric. Take special care where the material is stretched the most, that is the pockets for the visor bases and above the doors or it will pull away.
That pulling away at the vizor base is not so bad as the base holds it back but above the doors is bad, I had to use a heat gun to soften the glue to get to the unstuck area.
