Aren't the 72/73 doortops, kneepads and dashtop plastic molded stuff instead of vinyl? Years ago I butchered a dashboard and it left me with a sheet of plastic sripped of from hard foam. With vinyl you would expect flexible material. Wish I could post a picture of it.

I think the answer is yes, but they can be covered. I plan on leaving the original coating in place, filling cracks or blemishes to provide a smooth enough surface for the new vinyl wrap. That's my theory anyway - fingers crossed. :roll:
