[doc] Re: Power window trouble

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas, 

When they re-upholster the trim they should put new foam backing in 
and new fir tree clips, so they should look ok when done. 

The foam backing will cover any small blemishes, if not I am sure 
the upholsterer will give you some advice.

My plan was to have mine completed for Eurofest
